Balding, Premature Graying Tied To Higher Heart Disease Danger
Male-pattern baldness and premature greying are associated with a greater hazard of heart disease before the age of 40 than obesity, according to a new analyze from India. Does this mean that doctors should be screening our hairline alongside traditional risk factors such as our weight and blood pressure?
Over the years, scientists have developed many cardiovascular disease “risk tools”, with varying levels of usefulness. The tools normally involve measuring “classical” risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol levels, obesity and diabetes. Included in most of these danger tools is age, because hazard of cardiovascular disease in later life is higher if you have risk factors in your forties.
Beyond these classical risk factors, several slightly odd risk factors have been identified. These include weak grip strength, skipping breakfast and being divorced. Previous research has also suggested that premature hair greying is linked to vascular( blood vessel) disease. Male-pattern baldness may also be an early sign of cardiovascular danger.
