“…Another case-control study done in 2021 by Mustafa and his co-worker in Turkey assessed included a total of 106 males (74 in AGA group and 42 in the Control group) with an age range between 20-50 years, mean age is 32.14, very close with our mean age result that is 32.84±7.18 years (P-value = 0.782). But in the case of Oiwoh et al, they found no significant relationship with MetS prevalence between the AGA patients and the control group (P = 0.135) which is the opposite in our study (Oiwoh et al, 2023).…”

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of patterned hair loss among males which is characterized by progressive hair loss from the bi-temporal and vertex regions of the scalp. Although previous epidemiological studies found an association between metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among adult AGA male patients, there has been no comprehensive research till now to establish this correlation between AGA and cardiovascular risk and there is a paucity of data regarding this association. Two hundred men were included in the study, N = 100 AGA patients included in the patient group, and the rest in the control group. In both groups, the parameters for MetS such as family history, socioeconomic status, obesity, blood pressure, and lipid profile), and in the presence of the CAA plaques and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) using Doppler ultrasonography were established. The degree of AGA was asses by using the Hamilton-Norwood grade (I-VII) system for males. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. AGA was found in 11.6% of OPD patients, whereas 3 patients have CAA plaque and 6 cases have C-IMT from the patient's group. There was a statistical association between male AGA with MetS, and insulin-resistant patients (P = 0.001 and 0.0004, respectively). A positive family history of AGA patients, hypertension, DM, and CVD was found to be significantly more frequent in study cases than in the controls (P <0.05). Patients with AGA appear to have a highly prevalent risk of developing CVD and CAA plaque. Therefore, clinical evaluation of each AGA patient’s cases is needed, especially for grade III and above which may help prevent CVD in the future. Timely intervention and lifestyle changes in male AGA patients can fulfil the ultimate objective of reducing cardiovascular complications in the future.

Aims Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is widely recognized as the most common form of hair loss and can significantly affect individuals’ quality of life. The association between alcohol consumption and AGA remains uncertain and controversial. Our primary objective is to investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and AGA. Methods We identified studies from multiple databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science, up to March 2024. For alcohol consumption, we included studies where it was defined as a categorical variable, such as Yes/No or classified by grams. For AGA, only cases that were clinically diagnosed were included. Odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were extracted from the included studies. Subgroup analyses were conducted, considering factors such as gender and study design. Results Our findings indicated that individuals who consume alcohol had an OR of AGA compared to those who do not drink alcohol (OR, 1.40; 95% CI: .95–2.06; k = 6; I2 = 77%). In the subgroup analysis focusing on men, an OR for alopecia was observed (OR, 1.31; 95% CI: .85–2.01; k = 4; I2 = 78%). Additionally, a subgroup analysis based on study design revealed ORs of 1.93 (95% CI: 1.32–2.82; k = 3; I2 = 47%) for cross-sectional studies, and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.33–2.14; k = 2; I2 = 0%) for case–control studies. Conclusions Our results suggest that the effect of alcohol consumption on AGA may be less than initially assumed. Future research will require large, carefully planned cohort studies that incorporate standardized diagnostic criteria to provide more definitive insights. Systematic review registration CRD42022303374.
