It seems so, according to researchers at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Scientists believe that while a woman\u2019s genetic makeup is the prime cause for hair loss<\/a>, marital split comes very high up on the list of reasons, charting at number 2. This may seem rather strange at first, but stress can often be a pre-curser for hair loss, so it is understandable that a broken marriage can be as stressful as redundancy or bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

Marriage splits are not the only factor in women\u2019s hair loss though and researchers found a number of other reasons. For instance, women who smoked were putting themselves at risk and the risk was also higher for women with diabetes.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, however, the scientists also suggest that women who were either overweight or obese were at a lower risk of losing their hair.<\/p>\n

In men there was a statistically significant risk of losing hair through heavy drinking and smoking.<\/p>\n

Overall, the researchers said that women who are happily married, used sun protection and drank coffee were at a lower risk of hair loss. Men on the other hand who exercised outside a lot were putting themselves at risk of too much sun exposure, another factor believed to be connected with hair loss.<\/p>\n

The overall conclusion of this research points to one important factor. The reasons for loss of hair while many and varied are also different for men and women.<\/p>\n

That said stress for both sexes is the prime cause whatever the circumstances.<\/p>\n
