    TLDR Male pattern baldness in elderly Japanese men is linked to a sulfur gas and worsened by gut and metabolic issues.
    The study suggested that male pattern baldness (MPB) in elderly Japanese men was associated with the level of CH3SCH3, a sulfur-containing gas responsible for oral malodor. This association was found to be stronger in the presence of gastrointestinal tract and metabolic disorders.
