I read this in todays paper, however bald or no bald, eat well, excercise, dont smoke and your heart will be healthy. Being bald wont put you in the same danger bracket as smokers or heavy drinkers or the obese. My grandad on my mothers side had a dodgy ticker and he had hair into his seventies so hair or not im always concious of my heart health, no problems yet thankfully. -

I have to call bulls**t on that one. If that statement was scientifically accurate millions of people would be dead already on the planet. There are bald men that live to well over 100 years old and die of natural causes and men with full heads of hair that barely live past 40 years old of heart disease. Hair loss has no genetic correlation to cardiovascular disease though both have genetic triggers within the DNA. Some of the genetics can be offset and the switch that triggers the negative heart ailments can be flipped the other way with better nutrition, exercise and proper monitoring of hypertension or lessening alcohol intake and of course no smoking.Comment

Also a few years ago I gained a lot of weight in a short period of time and started having health problems. My cholesterol was over 200. My dr put me on meds, which allowed me to exercise again and I lost all the weight and my cholesterol is now 139. My dr says I am doing great but I noticed my good cholesterol is still on the low side. But she told me that it really was not my fault as it was due to the fact that I am a male. So all of this makes me wonder if testosterone/DHT can be bad for your heart. Now they just need to come up with propecia to protect our heartsComment

If MPB made us 10x more likely to have heart attacks it would still only be the 4th or 5th sh*ttiest thing about hair loss.Comment
