About Alopecia Areata Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease affecting nearly seven million Americans that results in unpredictable, often sudden, and severe hair loss. People with alopecia areata most often lose hair in circular, coin-sized patches on the scalp but in more severe cases they may lose all the hair on their body. Alopecia areata can begin at any age, but most develop it early in life, impacting adults and children. More than 80 percent show signs of the disease before age 40, and 40 percent experience symptoms by age 20. Research suggests that women are more likely to develop alopecia areata than men and that the odds of developing alopecia areata are higher among persons of color. Frequently dismissed as a cosmetic condition, alopecia can be a deeply traumatic experience, resulting in emotional and economic pain and social isolation. It is not just hair. About the National Alopecia Areata Foundation The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) drives research to find a cure and accessible treatments for alopecia areata, supports those impacted, and educates the public about the disease. Founded in 1981, NAAF is the largest alopecia areata patient advocacy organization in the world, connecting members of the alopecia areata community, including those living with the disease, family members and caregivers, healthcare providers, and researchers through its many programs. NAAF is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization and has achieved the highest rankings from charity watchdogs.
