    TLDR Early-onset AGA shows different hair and metabolic characteristics compared to normal-onset AGA.
    This study compared metabolic syndrome parameters and hair characteristics in 40 participants with either early-onset or normal-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Significant differences were found in telogen hair rate and trichoscopic hair characteristics between the groups. Metabolic parameters such as triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and HDL also differed, with the normal-onset group showing a higher prevalence of metabolic abnormalities. These findings suggest a potential link between AGA and metabolic syndrome, though further research with larger samples is needed to clarify this relationship.
