TLDR Premature hair loss doesn't increase the risk of metabolic syndrome.

The study investigated the association between premature androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and metabolic syndrome in 75 male patients. The results showed that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with premature AGA was 8%, which was not higher than in the general population. There was a significant positive correlation between the severity of AGA and metabolic syndrome (p=0.049). However, the study concluded that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not increased in patients with premature AGA compared to the general population.

research Androgenetic Alopecia: Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Metabolic Syndrome, and Component Traits Among Nigerian Adults

April 2023 in “Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice”

Hair loss in adults is linked to heart disease risk factors like unhealthy blood fats, lack of exercise, and alcohol use. It's also slightly more common in people with metabolic syndrome. As people age, hair loss gets worse. In men, severe hair loss is tied to high blood pressure and a larger waist. In women, it's tied to higher body weight. People with hair loss should be checked for unhealthy blood fats and advised to avoid alcohol and inactivity.
