hair loss Hamilton-Norwood Hair Loss Scale

TLDR CEOs aged 50-69 have less significant hair loss than the general white male population.

The study "Hair and Occupational Success among Chief Executive Officers in Business" examined the relationship between hair loss and professional success among white male CEOs in the United States. The study used the Hamilton-Norwood Hair Loss Scale to grade the severity of hair loss in 68 CEOs aged 50-69 years. The results showed that significant hair loss occurred in 18% (6/34) of the CEOs aged 50-59 years and in 35% (12/34) of those aged 60-69 years. The study concluded that significant hair loss occurred less frequently among white male CEOs aged 50-69 years than previously reported for the general white male population.
