Vertex Baldness Linked to Heart Disease
Next time you’re at the mirror admiring your ever more prominent scalp, take a quick look at where your skin is shining through. Recent research done at Harvard Medical School has found a link between “vertex male pattern balding” and heart disease. Vertex baldness occurs at the crown of the head. Picture a donut or medieval friar.
No hair loss doesn’t cause heart attacks. It isn’t even something that should raise the blood pressure of most people. There just seems to be a link between this particular type of baldness and heart disease. Researchers are still debating why the link exists. It could be as simple as a linked set of genetic traits, like the earlobe creases discussed in the article.
So, it’s worth taking a look at. In the mean time, take care of your heart.
