    TLDR Early-onset male hair loss may be linked to higher cardiovascular risk.
    This cross-sectional study of 99 male patients aged 18 to 35 with early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) found that 7 patients were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MetS), all with mild AGA, and exhibited higher blood pressure and fasting blood sugar levels. The study suggests a potential link between early-onset AGA and increased cardiovascular risk, emphasizing the importance of monitoring metabolic health in AGA patients. It highlights the need for further research with larger sample sizes and advocates for a holistic approach to patient care, involving collaboration between dermatologists and other healthcare providers.
