Male pattern alopecia and coronary artery disease in men

Abstract

The prevalence of male pattern alopecia, coronary artery disease, hypertension and smoking habits were studied in 478 male Caucasian hospital in-patients, over the age of 20 years. No association was shown between coronary artery disease and either male pattern alopecia, premature male pattern alopecia or male pattern alopecia with a positive family history.
