TLDR The study looked at how common male pattern baldness is in young men in a heart care unit but didn't give specific results.
The study, conducted by Vishal Singh Thakur and Nidhi Sharma, investigated the prevalence of Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), also known as male pattern baldness, in young male patients admitted to a Cardiac care unit. The research was prompted by recent interest in the potential relationship between AGA and cardiovascular risk factors. However, the document does not provide specific findings, conclusions, or the number of participants involved in the study.
Early-onset baldness is linked to genetics, lifestyle, and can indicate higher risk for heart and metabolic diseases, and affects mental health.
