Losing your hair could be the first visible sign of heart disease ? but only if it is from the top of your head.
A review of studies involving almost 40,000 men has found that those with male pattern baldness ? losing hair from the crown of their head ? had up to a 70 cent increased risk of heart disease. The younger they were when they lost their hair and the greater the extent of their baldness, the higher their risk.
Researchers found 850 studies examining the link published over the last 60 years. However, only six were of high quality and were selected for the review. Four were conducted in the US, one in Denmark and one in Croatia.
