Breaking, often mislabeled as breakdancing in the media, is a dance style originating from the Bronx of New York in the early 1970s. A unique condition in this population is a form of alopecia known as "headspin hole," or "breakdancer overuse syndrome" of the scalp. This form of hair loss may show a variety of patterns based on the activities of the dancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between alopecia and breaking, the level of concern dancers have regarding hair loss, barriers to medical treatment, and how it affects their dancing.
This was a cross-sectional study using an online survey. The survey addressed participants' demographics, hair, dancing styles, training, and health history. Questions about the effects of hair loss on the participants were also asked.
This study found that there was a significant difference in hair loss among breakers compared to non-breakers. This was not seen after controlling for age and sex. However, the concern for hair loss was significant even after controlling for these variables. Similarly, hair loss was significantly associated with the frequency of headspins. Despite these concerns, breakers were less likely to seek medical attention.
This study showed that there are significant disparities in hair loss between breaking and other dance styles. Hair loss due to breaking has been shown to have significant effects on an individual's concerns, which may be compounded by the fact that this population is less likely to seek out medical care and have significantly greater substance use compared to the other dancers surveyed. Further research is necessary to investigate interventions to prevent and treat hair loss in this population and the means to decrease the gap in health care in the dance population.
Breaking，在媒体中常被错误地贴上“霹雳舞”的标签，是一种起源于 20 世纪 70 年代初纽约布朗克斯的舞蹈风格。在这个群体中，有一种独特的脱发形式，被称为“头顶旋转空洞”，或头皮的“霹雳舞过度使用综合征”。这种脱发形式可能会根据舞者的活动呈现出各种模式。本研究旨在探讨脱发与霹雳舞之间的关系，以及舞者对脱发的关注程度、就医障碍以及脱发对其舞蹈的影响。
这是一项使用在线调查的横断面研究。该调查涵盖了参与者的人口统计学资料、头发、舞蹈风格、训练和健康史。还询问了有关脱发对参与者影响的问题。
本研究发现，与非霹雳舞者相比，霹雳舞者的脱发程度存在显著差异。在控制年龄和性别后，这种差异并不明显。然而，即使在控制了这些变量后，对脱发的关注仍然是显著的。同样，脱发与头顶旋转的频率显著相关。尽管存在这些担忧，但霹雳舞者更不愿意寻求医疗帮助。
本研究表明，霹雳舞和其他舞蹈风格之间存在显著的脱发差异。由于霹雳舞导致的脱发已被证明对个人的关注有重大影响，而这一人群由于不太可能寻求医疗护理，并且与接受调查的其他舞者相比，有明显更高的物质使用情况，可能会使这种情况更加复杂。需要进一步研究，以调查针对这一人群的预防和治疗脱发的干预措施，以及减少舞蹈人群中医疗保健差距的方法。
