Supplementary Figure 2 From Male-Pattern Vertex Baldness Trajectories, Chest Hair Patterns, and Odds of Overall and Aggressive Prostate Cancer

This study discusses patterns of androgenetic alopecia in Indian men but reports no new clinical findings.

This abstract provides a directed acyclic graph of the association between chest hair amount and prostate cancer, highlighting variables and potential confounders, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found a significant association between baldness patterns, particularly vertex and early-onset baldness, and an increased risk of prostate cancer.

This study conducted a meta-analysis and found that men with both frontal and vertex male pattern baldness have a slightly increased risk of developing prostate cancer, though most data was from Caucasian populations and effect modification by genetic variations was not assessed.

This study explored social perceptions of men with androgenetic alopecia, finding that increased hair loss was associated with perceptions of being older, less attractive, smaller, and less masculine, but more family-oriented and socially agreeable, highlighting how hair loss influences first impressions.
