Early baldness 'main heart disease risk'
Quote:Three of the studies were cohort reports - the well-being of the balding men was monitored for 11 years or more.
Results showed that balding men had a 32% increased risk of developing coronary artery disease, compared to their peers who maintained a full head of hair.
When the analysis was restricted to men under the age of 55-60, a comparable pattern was revealed. Balding males had a 44% increased probability to develop coronary artery disease.
After examining the other 3 reports, which compared the heart health of men who were bald or balding with those who were not, the experts saw similar results.
The team found that balding men had a 70% higher risk of having heart disease, while those in younger age groups had a 84% elevated chance.
