Black Women With Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia May Have High Risk For Developing Fibroids, Research Suggests.

HealthDay (1/5, Mozes) reported that research suggests "black women with" central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), "a relatively common form of hair loss, may also face a high risk for developing fibroids." Investigators looked at data on approximately 487,000 black women. The data indicated that "nearly 14 percent of women with CCCA also had fibroids," but only "3 percent of those who did not have CCCA had fibroids." The findings were published in a research letter in JAMA Dermatology.
