Résumé

Canities, or hair graying, is believed to be driven by the cytotoxic effect of reactive oxygen species on follicular melanocytes, thus raising the concern that premature hair graying (PHG) may represent an outward sign of systemic oxidative stress. This study aimed to identify the physiological, psychological, and lifestyle factors associated with PHG (defined as graying at age ≤30 years) in men and women. Data from 467 participants (female = 354 and male = 113; age: 18-77 years) were collected and analyzed, including demographic information, medical history, family history, supplement intake, and lifestyle factors. PHG was found to be significantly associated with a history of PHG in the mother, As a survey study, the findings may be subject to recall bias. Important associations exist between PHG and family history of PHG, psychiatric history, supplement use, and vitamin deficiencies, providing insight into the pathophysiology and potential comorbidities of PHG.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Canities, or hair graying, is believed to be driven by the cytotoxic effect of reactive oxygen species on follicular melanocytes, thus raising the concern that premature hair graying (PHG) may represent an outward sign of systemic oxidative stress.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to identify the physiological, psychological, and lifestyle factors associated with PHG (defined as graying at age ≤30 years) in men and women.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
Data from 467 participants (female = 354 and male = 113; age: 18-77 years) were collected and analyzed, including demographic information, medical history, family history, supplement intake, and lifestyle factors.
RESULTS RESULTS
PHG was found to be significantly associated with a history of PHG in the mother,
LIMITATIONS CONCLUSIONS
As a survey study, the findings may be subject to recall bias.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Important associations exist between PHG and family history of PHG, psychiatric history, supplement use, and vitamin deficiencies, providing insight into the pathophysiology and potential comorbidities of PHG.
