Incidence Of Male Pattern Baldness 100 Years Ago Versus Now?

[persistentone]

Has anyone found published research that shows the incidence of male pattern baldness in different historical periods? I'm trying to determine if the rate of male pattern baldness has been stable for the last 100 years or has it been rising?

If you're interest in an informal investigation then check out this old book.

The first chapter outlines the various historic studies and theories of balding. Mostly it seems to show that people have always thought that balding is getting more and more prevalent but there seems to be as many balding people 50 - 100 years ago as today.

Looking at the percentage of men who were bald, one 1930 account stated that at least 50% of men under 30 showed distinct evidence of beginning baldness. ...

In the late 1970s the New York Times wrote that cosmetically significant hair loss occurred in 12% of men who were 25, 37 percent of those who were 35, 45% of those who were 45...

Some time ago, i read that humans subconsciously choose "strong" genes when they want to produce an offspring, hence some scientists believe that we will be smarter, men vil have wider jaws etc. etc, in the future.

Due to this theory, if high DHT levels (strong facial and body hair, high libido etc.) is considered a strong gene, then there will in fact be more balding men in the future, if it is however considered a weak gene, than there will be less.

Just a fun thought

Well that's how evolution works. And currently it's theorized that balding evolved as women chose more mature features such as a beard and a receded hairline in the past. (People had kids much younger in the past so it was more unlikely to be fully bald at child-having age).

But currently I would say the opposite is happening. If you're bald at a young age you are slightly less likely to have kids and thus very, very slowly the balding gene will become less prevalent. Although treatments will interfere with this obviously.

I guess male pattern baldness was always here.


Difficult to say what is the true.

Some pages told us 70-80 % of all men will have baldness problems in their life.
Cant' find much information about the statistics only found this :

The "advanced" declines from 60-69 to 70-79. I wonder if this is because a higher amount of "advanced" stage men die than the others.

Qué tal, anoche terminé de ver una serie y aún no tenía sueño. Navegando sin rumbo di con un enlace interesante y probé. Acumulé pérdidas en las primeras rondas pero en una jugada más alta la suerte cambió y recuperé todo con creces. swift casino españa Las ventajas para jugadores de España suman mucho a la experiencia.
