“…Therefore enlarged prostate is strongly association with baldness. 57,58 Furthermore, male baldness is associated with insulin resistance, and insulin resistance in turn causes diabetes and obesity. 59 In age-associated diabetes, for instance, high glucose levels can be explained by loss of glucose import into cells.…”

“…The implications of familial relationships in AGA are important. AGA has been shown to be associated with more serious diseases such as coronary heart disease [11, 12, 13], benign prostatic hyperplasia [14]and prostate cancer [15]. The expression of AGA typically precedes the onset of these diseases by one or more decades.…”

Family History and Risk of Hair Loss

Introduction: The genetic basis of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is well accepted in the medical community and among the general population. However, rigorous studies investigating the familial basis of AGA are lacking. The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between family history and expression of AGA in a sample of men from the general community. Methods: Hair loss was assessed by an independent observer trained by an expert dermatologist using the Norwood/Hamilton classification scale and a 7-point global description of hair loss. Men were classified into two groups, one as having little or no hair loss and the other having hair loss. The family history of hair loss in parents and grandparents was assessed by subject self-report. Results: Adjusting for age, men whose fathers had hair loss were 2.5 times as likely to have had some level of hair loss compared to men whose fathers had no hair loss (95% CI: 1.3–4.9). Likewise, men whose fathers had hair loss were twice as likely to have hair loss than men whose fathers had no hair loss even after adjusting for age (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.2–3.7 and OR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.4–4.7 for Norwood/Hamilton and global description of hair loss assessments, respectively). Conclusion: Results suggest that the probability of male pattern hair loss is dependent on family history and age. Hair loss in a man’s father also appears to play an important role in increasing a man’s risk of hair loss, either in conjunction with a history of hair loss in the mother or hair loss in the maternal grandfather.

“…9,10,12-14 Oh et al 12 showed that males with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) had more severe alopecia compared with an age-matched control group and that there was a powerful relation between BPH and AGA. The authors stated that although they did not evaluate DHT levels in prostate tissue and hair follicles, this powerful relation was associated with increased 5a-reductase activity and androgen receptor levels in prostate tissue and hair follicles in patients with BPH compared with the control group.…”

“…9,11 Association with diseases proposed as being involved in the etiology of AGA, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, atherosclerosis, acne vulgaris, and testicular germ cell tumor, has been investigated in various studies, and it has been reported that AGA may be an early marker of these diseases. 9,10,[12][13][14] However, whether or not there is a correlation between AGA and urinary system stone disease, in whose etiology androgens have been shown to be involved, has not been investigated to date. In this study, we investigated whether patients with AGA were at risk in terms of urinary system stone disease.…”

et al. 2015

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate whether patients with androgenetic alopecia were at risk in terms of urinary system stone disease. Patients and methods: Patients with no baldness (Hamilton-Norwood Scala [HNS] stage I) were categorized as Group I, those with hair loss in the frontal region (HNS stages II, III, IIIa, and IVa) as Group II, those with hair loss in the vertex region (HNS stage III-vertex, V) as Group III and those with hair loss in both vertex and frontal regions (HNS stages IV, Va, VI, and VII) as Group IV. Patients in all groups were compared in terms of presence of stone, and the presence of any association between alopecia and urolithiasis, with common etiological risk factors, was investigated. Results: Three hundred and two male patients were included in the study. The presence of urolithiasis was detected in 28.9% of patients in Group I; 26.5% of Group II; 36.9% of Group III; and 44.4% of Group IV (p ¼ 0.085). Among patients aged under 60, urinary stone disease was detected in 30.8% of patients in Group I; 26.4% of Group II; 41.2% of Group III; and 53.8% of Group IV (p ¼ 0.001). In patients aged over 60, urolithiasis was detected in 12.5% of patients in Group I; 26.9% of Group II; 32.2% of Group III; and 37.8% of Group IV (p ¼ 0.371). Conclusions: We determined a significant correlation between vertex pattern and total alopecia with urolithiasis in patients younger than 60 years old.
