There's nothing on pubmed concerning hair loss and green tea intake in various countries.
However, there are murine studies that demonstrate that balding mice regrow more hair when administered Green Tea over a sixth month time period than bald mice that are given no Green Tea. The polyphenol fraction was 50% and the amount of mice experiencing regrowth was 30%.

yeah i know about the that, but i always feel reluctant to invest effort based on a mice study ...
i didn't think there would be a green tea-hair loss study by country, but did think that somebody has probably done baldness rates by country in general ... and if green tea, healthy-eating asian countries had less frequency than US, that would be interesting...

Nice question idd, but i think baldness rates differ anyway from country to country, like there are more blond people in north europe countries than south. I think mediterannean countries for example have a higher baldness rate.

Yes, I agree with that... too many other factors (soy, seaweed, other good stuff, etc).
I haven't seen studies about hairloss in this regard, there are other pertinent studies about hormones levels and plenty of other (indirectly related) topics though.

look what i found. dunno if this is true but...

snip:
An interesting epidemiological study was done in Japan about 8 years ago. It simply compared the incidence of male pattern baldness in rural Japan and urban Japan.
It was noted that the incidence on male pattern baldness in urban Japan was 4 times higher that that of rural Japan. The author, Dr. Inabi, hypothesized that diet played a major role. In urban Japan, the city dweller have essentially gone to a western diet, meaning more meat, dairy products, and fast foods, not to mention the stress. In rural Japan, he studied that they eat a traditional macrobiotic diet consisting mainly of fish, grains and vegetables, high in 3 and 6 fatty acids.
The incidence of male pattern baldness amongst the urban Japanese is only slightly less than what it is in the U.S., and among Japanese who have been living in the U.S. for more than one generation, it is identical to other ethnic groups. In Japan, prior to WWII, and its subsequent urbanization, male pattern baldness was virtually unknown and extremely rare. This study sheds a drastically different light on how diet and environment can impact genetic triggers and the predispositions.
