Abstract

This study aimed to determine the incidence of hair loss among U.S. active component service women, describe the types of hair loss, and summarize potential racial and ethnic disparities of hair loss among service women over the last 12 years. Estimates of traction alopecia among service members have been difficult, as there are no specific diagnosis codes for traction alopecia in the International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th revisions (ICD-9/ICD-10). A prior study on the prevalence of alopecia among female active component service women between 2010 and 2019 reported that 2.7% had traction alopecia diagnoses. That estimate may not be accurate, as the previous study used the ICD-9 code 704.01 (alopecia areata) and ICD-10 code Q84.0 (congenital alopecia), which are not fully representative of traction alopecia cases in administrative health records. This study used ICD-9/ICD-10 diagnostic codes 704.0 (ICD-9), L63, L64, L65, and L66 (ICD-10) to define cases of alopecia. The study population included female active component service members in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2022. The overall incidence rate of alopecia was 804.4 per 100,000 person-years. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic female active component service members had the highest incidence rates among all races and ethnicities, at 1,138.7 and 1,013.6 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. Non-Hispanic Black female active component service members were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with alopecia compared to non-Hispanic White female active component service members.

2010-2022 年现役女军人脱发发病率。
本研究旨在确定美国现役女军人的脱发发生率,描述脱发类型,并总结过去 12 年中女军人脱发的潜在种族和民族差异。由于《国际疾病分类》第 9 版和第 10 版(ICD-9/ICD-10)中没有关于牵引性脱发的具体诊断代码,因此很难对现役军人中牵引性脱发的发病率进行估计。此前一项关于 2010 年至 2019 年现役女兵脱发患病率的研究报告称,2.7% 的人被诊断患有牵引性脱发。这一估计可能并不准确,因为之前的研究使用了 ICD-9 代码 704.01(斑秃)和 ICD-10 代码 Q84.0(先天性脱发),而这两个代码并不能完全代表行政健康记录中的牵引性脱发病例。本研究使用 ICD-9/ICD-10 诊断代码 704.0(ICD-9)、L63、L64、L65 和 L66(ICD-10)来定义脱发病例。研究对象包括 2010 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 12 月 31 日期间美国陆军、海军、空军和海军陆战队的女性现役军人。脱发的总发病率为每 10 万人年 804.4 例。在所有种族和族裔中,非西班牙裔黑人和西班牙裔女性现役军人的发病率最高,分别为每 10 万人年 1,138.7 例和 1,013.6 例。与非西班牙裔白人女性现役军人相比,非西班牙裔黑人女性现役军人被诊断出患有脱发症的几率是后者的两倍多。
