Who's At Risk
Dandruff occurs in 15–20% of the population. The problem affects all races, may be a bit worse in men, and starts after puberty (although babies have a version called cradle cap). It peaks around the age of 40 and then may improve. Severe changes are seen frequently in people with Parkinson's disease and others with central nervous system problems as well as in those with HIV infection.
