AA is reported to have a significant negative impact on the emotional and psychological well\u2010being of the patients. This study aimed to evaluate the health\u2010related quality of life (HRQoL) of Japanese patients with AA in comparison to the Japanese population norms (national standard values for Japanese) using Short Form Health Survey 36 Item Version 2.0 (SF\u201036v2). The study also aimed to access the negative effect of AA on patients\u2019 daily lives and the proportion of patients having anxiety and\/or depression. This cross\u2010sectional, non\u2010interventional web\u2010based survey study included 400 participants aged 17\u201384\u00a0years currently suffering from medically diagnosed AA. The assessment tools integrated in the online questionnaire included SF\u201036v2, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). All outcome measures from the tools were evaluated across the study population. SF\u201036v2 subscale scores for patients with AA revealed lower scores specifically for mental health (45.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.1\u00a0points), social functioning (45.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.9\u00a0points), vitality (46.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.8\u00a0points), and role emotional (46.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a011.6 points) as compared to the Japanese population norms of 50\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010\u00a0points each. The DLQI questionnaire\u2010based analysis indicated that 32.1% of respondents showed a moderate to extremely large effect on their lives; and HADS\u2010A (anxiety) and HADS\u2010D (depression) scores categorized 46.0% and 41.8% respondents as doubtful\u2010to\u2010definite cases, respectively. Multivariate linear regression revealed that hair loss range, age, comorbidities, and depression significantly worsened DLQI scores. In conclusion, the results of this survey demonstrated that a significant decrease in the HRQoL scores was observed in Japanese patients with AA in comparison with the national norms. Hence, emphasis on mental health is crucial for AA management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.16364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,28]],"date-time":"2022-03-28T08:58:56Z","timestamp":1648457936000},"page":"584-593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Health\u2010related quality of life in patients with alopecia areata: Results of a Japanese survey with norm\u2010based comparisons"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9274-7050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taisuke","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Hamamatsu University School of Medicine  Hamamatsu Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7220-5142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazumasa","family":"Kamei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inflammation and Immunology Medical Affairs Pfizer Japan Inc.
