The Association of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Early Androgenetic Alopecia

TLDR People with early hair loss may have higher insulin levels and a greater chance of developing metabolic syndrome.
This study aimed to investigate the frequency of insulin resistance (IR), hyperinsulinemia, and metabolic syndrome (MS) in individuals with early androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The study evaluated 80 patients with early AGA and 48 healthy participants. The results showed that the serum level of insulin was higher in patients with early AGA compared to healthy participants, and IR was detected in more AGA patients than in the control group. Additionally, the occurrence of MS was significantly higher in the AGA group. The study suggests that patients with early AGA should be monitored for coronary arterial disease in the long term. However, further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
