TLDR Men who go bald before 30 may have a higher risk of heart disease.
The document discussed the potential link between baldness and coronary artery disease, noting that baldness did not always align with androgenetic alopecia in the studies reviewed. It suggested that men who experience baldness before age 30 might have a higher risk of coronary artery disease, possibly due to early-onset androgenetic alopecia and elevated dihydrotestosterone-testosterone ratios. The authors recommended that the baldness theory be considered as a secondary hypothesis in large epidemiological studies on coronary artery disease, emphasizing the need for dermatologic expertise to ensure accurate and cost-effective assessment of baldness.
