A meta-analysis performed by Yamada and associates at the University of Tokyo examined 850 studies on MPB and coronary heart disease (CHD) in order to estimate if the relationship between these two disorders is significant. The studies included 36990 participants in total. The results showed a signifcant relationship between MPB in the vertex area and CHD and this correlation was higher in younger men. Frontal baldness was not found to be correlated with CHD. The researchers say that CHD risk factors should be evaluated carefully in men with MPB. The nature of the correlation needs further investigation in order to estimate the causes. This is something all men with MPB should be aware of since CHD is a serious disease and can possibly be avoided with the proper nutritional and behavioural modifications.
