The investigation of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia

Male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) have insulin resistance, as indicated by high scores of HOMA-IR and FIRI. However, there was no significant difference between the AGA group and the control group with respect to the presence of metabolic syndrome. The study suggests that lifestyle changes in the early period of life can reduce the risk of insulin resistance.
