    TLDR Balding in men might indicate a higher risk of metabolic health issues.
    The study investigated the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and metabolic syndrome in 178 adult male patients. It found that 10.1% of the patients with AGA also had metabolic syndrome. The study highlighted that metabolic syndrome was more prevalent in patients over 40 years old, married individuals, those with low socioeconomic status, and illiterate individuals. The research suggested that AGA could serve as a biomarker for metabolic syndrome, emphasizing the importance of monitoring metabolic health in patients with AGA.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      The user has been using a combination of oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, microneedling, and keto shampoo for hair loss, experiencing significant shedding recently. Suggestions include simplifying the regimen by dropping finasteride and topical minoxidil, and possibly adding RU58841, while others advise maintaining the current approach for consistent results.
