Proof of a link between health and hair loss
If you do a quick search for "balding crown risk" you will find that a lot of new research is coming out linking heart disease with crown thinning. Basically stating that men with crown thinning are more likely to develop heart disease, HOWEVER men with receding hair lines ONLY presented no such risk at all. Isn't that insane? Why wouldn't all forms of hair loss be linked to heart disease? Obviously crown thinning without a receding hair line is a different case. I believe the thinning crown is a symptom of a health problem; this is finally being proven without a doubt. Insulin resistance and diabetes are also linked. One cause of diabetes is vitamin D deficiency; I've noticed how indian/middle-easterners usually thin on the crown only. Look up any balding crown only story and 8/10 its a brown-skinned person. People with darker skin have a harder time absorbing vitamin d of course. Another cause of insulin resistance is severe psychological stress. My dad is indian and had diabetes; he began to loss his hair from the top. Same thing with me; I haven't receded an inch, yet my crown loss was pretty bad. His 2 brothers that didn't migrate to Canada both have full long hair (the oldest is pushing 70). SO I think if you have both a family history of diabetes or heart disease AND are living an unhealthy lifestyle then your crown may thin as a result. I don't know really...what do you guys think? Does this finally prove the link between hair-loss and lifestyle/conditions not associated to male pattern baldness?
