Androgenic alopecia does NOT occur as a result of what?

  1. Genetic factors

  2. Hormonal changes

  3. Autoimmune disorder

  4. Stress

The correct answer is: Autoimmune disorder

Autoimmune disorder is not related to the development of androgenic alopecia. Androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness, is caused by genetic factors and sensitivity to hormonal changes such as increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Stress may also contribute to hair loss, but it is not the primary cause of androgenic alopecia. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are factors that can contribute to androgenic alopecia.
