    TLDR Men with male pattern baldness are more likely to have benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    The study "The Association of Male Pattern Baldness in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia" found a significant correlation between male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The researchers conducted a study involving 1,000 men, half of whom had BPH and the other half who did not. They found that 65% of the men with BPH also had male pattern baldness, compared to only 30% in the control group. This suggests that male pattern baldness could be a potential indicator for BPH. However, the researchers emphasized that more studies are needed to confirm these findings and to explore the underlying mechanisms linking these two conditions.
