Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 22, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2013 Recently, researchers at the University of Tokyo state they have found a link between hair loss and heart disease. During a study of over 37,000 hair loss sufferers, the research team found a 32% increase in coronary artery disease (a precursor to dangerous angina and fatal heart attacks) in males suffering from androgenic alopecia. These findings seem concerning, and may leave hair loss sufferers answering some important questions: How clear is the link between hair loss and heart disease? Is hair loss a significant risk factor for heart disease, or are issues like smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure still more detrimental to heart health? Finally, what are experts saying, and should balding individuals worry? Curious to hear the answers? If so, please see the following article from our Hair Loss Q & A Blog: Link Between Hair Loss and Heart Disease? New Study Claims Male Baldness "Indicates Heart Risk."
