NEW YORK — Men who go bald may be at increased risk of heart disease, according to a new study by researchers in Japan.
The researchers, at the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, examined data on 36,690 men, finding that those who experienced vertex baldness were 1.32 times more likely to experience coronary heart disease than those without baldness and those who experienced frontal baldness.
The study, based on previously published medical studies, appeared on April 3 in the journal BMJ Open.
