For someone who is a Norwood 5a at 30 y/o, what is the prognosis: NW 6 or 7? Person has been balding since early 20s but seems to have stabilized the past few years.

You said it yourself... it has seemed to have stabilized. It can start again, or not. It could happen in your 40s, 50s, or later. Do you have any older relatives with a similar pattern?

For example I went bald exactly like my paternal grandfather (started at 16), but my dad did so MUCH later, in his 70s. He is a N4 at 78, and I am an N6/7 at 53.
