Study reveals link of male-pattern baldness and premature graying with early heart disease
November 30, 2017
New research presented at the 69th Annual Conference of the Cardiological Society of India (CSI) indicated that premature greying and male-pattern baldness are linked to a greater than fivefold risk of heart disease before the age of 40. The study also suggested obesity is linked to a fourfold risk of early heart disease.
Dr. Sachin Patil, a lead author from the U.N. Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India said: "The incidence of coronary artery disease in young men is increasing but cannot be explained by traditional risk factors. Premature greying and androgenic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) correlate well with vascular age irrespective of chronological age and are plausible risk factors for coronary artery disease."
