The Relationship of Androgenetic Alopecia Severity with Epicardial Fat Thickness

The study investigated the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) severity and epicardial fat thickness (EFT), which is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. The study found a positive correlation between AGA severity and EFT, indicating that AGA may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The study involved 60 men with AGA and 60 healthy controls, and EFT was measured using echocardiography. The findings suggest that AGA severity may be a useful marker for identifying individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease.
