    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.
