    TLDR Androgenetic alopecia may be linked to metabolic syndrome.
    This study investigates the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and metabolic syndrome by comparing early-onset AGA (before age 30) and normal-onset AGA (after age 30) in 40 participants. The study found significant differences in metabolic parameters such as triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and HDL, with the normal-onset group showing a higher prevalence of metabolic abnormalities. Hair growth parameters, specifically the telogen hair rate, also differed significantly between the groups. These findings suggest a potential association between AGA and metabolic syndrome, though further research with larger samples and diverse study designs is needed to clarify this relationship.
