Will High Cholesterol Levels Cause Hair Loss?
I am a 56 year old female, 5'7", 30# overweight, recently have gone through menopause, have high cholesterol only (taking 10mg zocor) and have been "suffering" from gradual hair loss. My thyroid is fine. My grandmothers and mother had a full head of hair throughout their lives. What causes hair loss? Is this hormone related?

Your hair loss is not associated with raised cholesterol. It seems to be associated with hormonal changes.
