Experts at Pusan National University in South Korea have found that those who regularly drink alcohol are 1.4 times more likely to suffer from androgenetic alopecia (AGA) - a form of hair loss that affects millions of men and women around the world.

Previous findings have suggested that the condition is driven by genetic and hormonal factors but the new research adds to evidence that lifestyle factors have an impact.

Professor Yun Hak Kim, who led the study, said: "Individuals who consume alcohol may have a slightly higher likelihood of experiencing AGA compared to non-drinkers."

The experts are hopeful that their discovery can encourage further exploration into the link between alcohol consumption and hair loss.

Professor Kim said: "Our research could inform public health guidance, patient counselling, and targeted awareness campaigns, helping individuals make informed lifestyle choices regarding hair health."
