Female pattern hair loss, androgenetic – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1776635672

Androgen-mediated hair loss in women. It differs from male pattern hair loss not only in being generally less pronounced than in men but also by the fact that the normal frontal hair line is usually preserved. A quarter of women will develop clinically detectable pattern hair loss by the age of 70.
