Hair loss occurs when there is a disruption in the growth of hair follicles; most commonly from infection, trauma, secondary to immune disease, nutritional abnormalities, or
endocrine system abnormalities, like hypothyroidism or Cushing's disease.
Objective To understand why children exposed to adverse psychosocial experiences are at elevated risk for age - related disease, such as cardiovascular disease, by testing whether adverse childhood experiences predict enduring
abnormalities in stress - sensitive biological
systems, namely, the nervous, immune, and
endocrine / metabolic
systems.
