Actually the argument wouldn't be about rates increase or decreasing if it was more due to life expectancy, the rate should have remained unchanged if that was the case.
Onset of symptoms and progression of MPB is more the correct thing to judge.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20305339 says that in he decade proceeding WW2 L.E. increased 13.7 years.
So unless L.E. was like 30 or 40 in Japan (it wasn't, it was late high 40's to mid 50's) the rates of 20 to 30 somethings experiencing it should have been equal unless something else shifted as well.
But if Japanese MPB is more typically onset at 50+ then yes, it makes sense we see it more. But if the onset is occuring more at the typical 20-30 then that demographic rate change is due to something else.
Something new?

Actually, rates went up significantly post-war when life expectancy in Japan increased markedly and men stopped dying before the onset of MPB.Leave a comment:

It was the Japanese... they did suffer MPB, just at lower rates. Rates went up significantly post-war when western diets were introduced.
The Amazon tribes never had MPB until they interbred.Leave a comment:

I remember reading somewhere that Asian men did not historically suffer from MPB until introducing western foods into their diets?Leave a comment:

Im sorry, but did she just say vitamins and minerals?
Lol are you shitting me?
How are they getting away with this?
They're going to perform a miracle that has alluded mankind for the best part of 3,500 years by injecting VITAMINS AND MINERALS into your scalp? And the process will be done in some dodgy beach shack in the Caribbean?
Come on people, we've been here a million times before - they're all the same.Leave a comment:

Thats right, and they found out why said organs are harder to transplant, those organs that have a capacity for self-renewal, the liver & hair follicles for example (can both regenerate) are somehow more immunologically active -i.e. you'd need a lot of immunosuppressant’s to transplant such organs. Strange how the body works but might have something to do with the programming at the embryological/blastocyst stage - they're even speculating now that spontaneous diseases such as Parkinson’s are caused by problems in the programming during the blastocyst stage that do not materialise until 50 to 60 years later.Leave a comment:

We are often asked how it is that one can perform kidney transplants from one person to another, but not hair transplants. The reason is that the skin is more antigenic than a kidney, i.e. it is more likely to be rejected. The reason is complex, but this makes sense considering that the skin is the first line of defense against foreign organisms.Leave a comment:

We might have a good shot at unlimited donor hair if the rejection factor was solved and we could use donor hairs from other people or cadavers. I know that is being worked on for organ transplants. Possibility of taking anti rejection meds for just a week or 2 and that's it. Hope that works.Leave a comment:
