April 2023 in “Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice” Hair loss in adults is linked to heart disease risk factors like unhealthy blood fats, lack of exercise, and alcohol use. It's also slightly more common in people with metabolic syndrome. As people age, hair loss gets worse. In men, severe hair loss is tied to high blood pressure and a larger waist. In women, it's tied to higher body weight. People with hair loss should be checked for unhealthy blood fats and advised to avoid alcohol and inactivity.
