Item Pediatric Androgenetic Alopecia: A Retrospective Review Of Clinical Characteristics, Hormonal Assays And Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors In 23 Patients(2022) Ozcan, Deren; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7450-6886; 35033390; AAQ-6649-2021Background: Androgenetic alopecia in the pediatric population is rarely discussed in the literature. Although the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increased in patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, the presence of metabolic syndrome risk factors in pediatric androgenetic alopecia is unknown. Objective: To evaluate the demographics, medical and family histories, clinical and trichoscopic features, androgenic hormones, and metabolic syndrome risk factors in pediatric androgenetic alopecia. Methods: The medical reports of pediatric patients with androgenetic alopecia were reviewed. Results: The study included 23 patients (12 females and 11 males) with a mean age of 15,3 +/- 2,1 years. Sixteen patients had adolescent androgenetic alopecia and seven, had childhood alopecia. Nine patients reported a family history, all of whom had adolescent androgenetic alopecia. Hyperandrogenism was noted in three patients with adolescent androgenetic alopecia. The most common hair loss pattern was diffuse thinning at the crown with preservation of the frontal hairline which was noted in 10 patients (43.5%), six of whom were males. Fourteen patients (60.9%) had at least one metabolic syndrome risk factor. The most common risk factor was obesity or overweight (47.8%) followed by insulin resistance (21.7%), high fasting blood glucose (13%), high blood pressure (4.4%) and lipid abnormalities (4.4%). Study limitations: Retrospective study; lack of a control group. Conclusion: Pediatric androgenetic alopecia is often associated with metabolic syndrome risk factors. Therefore, androgenetic alopecia in the pediatric population may indicate a future metabolic syndrome which warrants an accurate and prompt diagnosis for early screening and treatment.

Design: The data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the C-PFS-T and a socio-demographic information form. BMI was calculated by dividing body weight by the square of the height. After the adaptation of the scale to Turkish language, validity and reliability analysis were conducted for the C-PFS-T. Setting: Gulhane Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases Nutrition and Diet Unit in Ankara. Participants: This research was conducted with volunteer children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 16 years (n 268). Results: It was concluded that the 15-item C-PFS-T was collected under three factors as in the original version of the child version. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0 center dot 878 for the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed the acceptability and applicability of adapting the version of the C-PFS-T in terms of chi(2)/df (= 3 center dot 816), adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI = 0 center dot 931), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0 center dot 082) and goodness-of-fit index (GFI = 0 center dot 852) fit indices. C-PFS-T total score's median value of obese group wasn't substantially different from normal weight group.Conclusions: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the C-PFS, which provides an assessment of the hedonic hunger status of children and adolescents with fifteen items and threesubdimensions, has sufficient reliability and validity to be applied to these subjects.
