Cardiometabolic Comorbidities Associated With Androgenetic Alopecia: Findings From a Sex-Stratified, Propensity-Matched National Cohort

This study investigates the association between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and cardiometabolic comorbidities using data from the All of Us Research Program, involving 1,015 participants with AGA matched to controls. The analysis reveals that AGA is significantly associated with hyperlipidemia in both men (adjusted OR 2.32) and women (2.55). Additionally, AGA is independently associated with obesity in women (1.48), but not in men. The study suggests that AGA could serve as a clinical marker for cardiometabolic risk, particularly in women. However, the cross-sectional design limits causal inference.
