    In 2019, a study involving 100 male patients found a significant link between dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels in the blood) and androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss). The results indicated that dyslipidemia was notably more prevalent in patients with androgenetic alopecia than in the control group. Additionally, those with severe androgenetic alopecia were more likely to have an abnormal lipid profile compared to those with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia. The study concluded that patients with androgenetic alopecia, particularly severe cases, are at a higher risk of developing abnormal serum lipids and should be assessed for dyslipidemia and other cardiovascular comorbidities.
