    New Research: "Bald People Have Worse Sperm; bald virility is a myth" bald = subhuman

    Assessment of semen quality in patients with androgenetic alopecia in an infertility clinic

    Abstract
    Background
    Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common cause of hair loss in men. It is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, it is suggested that premature AGA could be considered equivalent to that of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

    Objective
    The aim of this study was to examine the relation between AGA and the quality of semen.

    Methods
    The semen specimens were collected from 203 young adult men included in the study. AGA was classified according to the Hamilton baldness scale, modified by Norwood. All participants were classified into two categories: normal to mild AGA (equivalent to Norwood types I–II) as Group I and moderate to severe AGA (equivalent to Norwood types III–VII) as Group II to assess the difference in the quality of sperms between the two groups.

    Results
    There were no statistically significant differences in the men's age and body mass index scores among the groups. For both Groups I and II, the history of smoking and varicocele was not statistically different (p = 0.62 and p = 0.11, respectively). All parameters of sperm including volume, density, motility, and morphology were significantly lower in participants with moderate to severe AGA than those with normal to mild AGA (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, and p < 0.01, respectively).

    Conclusion
    This study showed that young adult men with moderate to severe AGA have poor quality of semen compared with those who have normal to mild AGA.

    Maybe the guys with moderate to severe AGA are on finasteride, or have been on it and are now suffering the effects of PFS!

          Hard truth hurts. He's not wrong, that is how bald men are perceived; subhuman.

            This study means jack! If bald men really did have lower fertility rates than non bald men then bald men would be a dying breed! That is to say, that according to "survival of the fittest" theory of evolution, there would be less bald people in the world, and bald men would certainly be less prevalent in our world today.

            @ NeedHairASAP, the title of your username should be changed to NeedSenseASAP!

            To be describing bald men as being "subhuman" is totally out of order!

              On bald man or rather- why bald men are bald:

              more likely it's an incomplete evolution to bipedalism caused by various factors. Vitamin D could be 1 of them

              Primates[edit]
              Most bipedal animals move with their backs close to horizontal, using a long tail to balance the weight of their bodies. The primate version of bipedalism is unusual because the back is close to upright (completely upright in humans). Many primates can stand upright on their hind legs without any support. Chimpanzees, bonobos, gibbons[19] and baboons[20] exhibit forms of bipedalism. Injured chimpanzees and bonobos have been capable of sustained bipedalism.[21] Geladas, although often quadrupedal, will move between adjacent feeding patches with a squatting, shuffling bipedal form of locomotion [2]. Three captive primates, one macaque Natasha[22] and two chimps, Oliver and Poko (chimpanzee), were found to move bipedally [clarification needed]. Natasha switched to exclusive bipedalism after an illness, while Poko was discovered in captivity in a tall, narrow cage.[23][24] Oliver reverted to knuckle-walking after developing arthritis.
              In addition, non-human primates often use bipedal locomotion when carrying food. One hypothesis for human bipedalism is thus that it evolved as a result of differentially successful survival from carrying food to share with group members,[25] although there are other hypotheses, as discussed below.

              You have to think really deep to see the connection.

                key phrase: 'several primate species are also balding'

                    You don't need a study to tell you balding men are subhuman. I could have told u that at

                      Some people are deliberately ignorant though. They've got their heads buried in the sand if they think baldness doesnt affect a man negatively.

                        Stupid study, of almost no evolutionary significance in my opinion. If those with early onset AGA do have worst sperm it's proven to not bad enough to drive out baldness from the gene pool.

                          Why does this result really even matter? I still want my hair I dont care what its evolutionary significance was or is.

                            It doesn't matter. I still want mine as well. You completely misread the tone of my previous post. But just pointing out what most can already deduce, that this study is ridiculous. My dad, and I'm sure thousands of others, was bald in his early 20s and had no trouble having a lot of kids effectively.

                              So basically 70% of males are subhuman ?
