  Fig. 1 (A) Total amount of exercise is larger in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) group than normal group (p=0.008). In low intensity exercise group, the frequency of exercise is higher in AGA group (p<0.001). (B) Within no AGA family history group, the frequency of low intensity of exercise was higher in AGA group than in normal group (p=0.018). (C) Total amount of exercise was larger in the positive AGA family history group (p<0.001). According to the intensity of exercise, higher frequency of exercise was observed within moderate and low intensity groups (p=0.014, p<0.001, respectively). *Statistically significant difference (p<0.05)

  Fig. 2 A tendency of increasing proportion of alopecia patients was observed in the low-intensity exercise group as exercise frequency increased. AGA: androgenetic alopecia.
