January 2020 in “JAAD case reports” Systemic mastocytosis may cause a type of hair loss called cicatricial alopecia.
January 2020 in “Turk Dermatoloji Dergisi” In this study, androgenetic alopecia, diagonal earlobe crease, and hairy ear were more frequently observed in men with coronary artery disease compared to controls.
This review discusses the association between alopecia and increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk but reports no definitive clinical results, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies on androgenetic alopecia patients.
February 2023 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study found that male patients with Androgenetic alopecia have higher serum leptin, lower vitamin D levels, and an altered adiponectin/leptin ratio, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenesis.
November 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This study found no direct association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome in the Chinese population, though AGA was closely linked with higher systolic blood pressure in men.
