research Genetic Variants at 20p11 Confer Risk to Androgenetic Alopecia in the Chinese Han Population
Genetic variants at 20p11 increase baldness risk in Chinese Han people.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Problems in pattern alopecia
Female pattern hair loss diagnosis is challenging and should use dermoscopy and histopathology instead of pattern recognition, as hormones may not always be the cause.
research Mapping of cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci in human scalp hair follicles
Researchers identified genes in scalp hair follicles that may affect hair traits and hair loss.
research Updated meta-analysis of the relation between heart disease and androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher chance of heart disease, especially if they're younger or have severe baldness; no link was found with another type of baldness called alopecia areata.
research Telogen hair loss and androgenetic‐like alopecia in GAPO syndrome
A boy with GAPO syndrome had hair loss similar to male pattern baldness without hormone issues, possibly due to skin or blood vessel problems.
research Aging Skin: A Window to the Body
Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.
research Dyslipidemia, hormonal profiles, and sleep characteristics in men with androgenetic alopecia: an analysis based on data from the EPISONO study
Men with androgenetic alopecia may have higher triglycerides, suggesting a link to lipid metabolism.
research Evaluating Testosterone and Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) as Biomarkers for Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher testosterone and DHEA-S levels may be linked to male pattern baldness.
research Evaluation of Copper and Zinc Disturbances in the Patients of Alopecia

research Effects Of Smoking On Hair Loss
Smoking increases the risk of hair loss, especially male pattern baldness.
research Male experiences of hair removal and loss: depilation practices and motivations
Men are increasingly removing body hair for looks and cleanliness, and while hair loss can cause distress, it doesn't affect their self-esteem as much as it does in women.
research Assessment of semen quality in patients with androgenetic alopecia in an infertility clinic
Men with severe hair loss may have poorer sperm quality.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research The E211 G>A Androgen Receptor Polymorphism Is Associated with a Decreased Risk of Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia
