Male pattern hair loss (MPHL) is the most frequent kind of hair loss in males, affecting 30-50% of men by the age of 50.
Recent research suggests that the prevalence of MPHL is rising. According to a Chinese poll, the illness afflicted 21.3% of males in 2010 and 27.5% of men in 2021.
According to research, diet has a significant impact in MPHL. According to certain research, glucose metabolism may have a role in hair loss.
More study on the link between MPHL and sugar consumption might help men at risk of MPHL make better lifestyle choices.
Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, recently investigated the relationship between sugar-sweetened drinks (SSB) intake and MPHL.
They discovered a link between increased SSB consumption and an increased risk of MPHL.
Dr. Ken L. Williams Jr., D.O., FISHRS, ABHRS, surgeon, founder of Orange County Hair Restoration in Irvine, California, author of Hair Transplant 360 – Follicular Unit Extraction, and unaffiliated with the study, told Medical News Today (MNT) in a telephone interview.
Dr. Williams stated that “traditionally, most doctors or hair restoration surgeons realize that nutrition and food play a major part in the general health and well-being of our patients.” “The health and lifespan of our patients depend on exercise, abstinence from cigarettes and illegal substances, proper nutrition, and a balanced diet,” says the doctor.
