February 2021 in “JCPSP. Journal of the College of Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan” December 2021 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” This study investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in 100 male patients with early-onset androgenic alopecia compared to 100 age-matched controls, all aged 20-35 years. The results showed that metabolic syndrome was significantly more prevalent in patients with androgenic alopecia (48%) than in controls (18%, p < 0.001). Additionally, androgenic alopecia patients had higher rates of increased waist circumference (76% vs. 28%, p < 0.0001), increased diastolic blood pressure (32% vs. 12%, p = 0.007), increased serum triglycerides (46% vs. 24%, p = 0.0011), and decreased serum high-density lipoproteins (36% vs. 18%, p = 0.0042). The study concludes that early screening for metabolic syndrome in patients with androgenic alopecia could help reduce cardiovascular mortality.
