Bald can be assured of their health

As found U.S. researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine (University of Washington School of Medicine), informs the British radiotelekorporatsiya BBC, men who have fallen dramatically to lose hair and is bald already to 30 years should not be greatly upset. Even the contrary: they have a known cause for joy.

However, this joy has yet to be matched by more impressive scientific research. But everything in order.

Based on the study 2 thousand men aged 40 to 47 years, doctors have found that those men who are bald already extensively to 30 years, less the likelihood of deadly diseases – prostate cancer. On their findings, researchers inform the scientific community in the trade publication Cancer Epidemiology ( “Epidemiology of cancer”), reports Point.ru.

In the study, scientists found that half of the participants in their experiment suffered from cancer prostaty.Zatem They compared the incidence rate among those who testified about the loss of hair on his head for 30 years, the situation of those who did not lose his hair in this age rubezhu.Poluchilos that those individuals of the male, the who began to appear in the specified age bald spots on top, as well as reducing the intensity of hair along the borders of the scalp, the risk of incidence of prostate cancer research has decreased by 29-45%.

For 30 years, as scientists know, in about 25-30% of men in varying degrees manifests baldness. By age 50, is half the stronger sex suffers from a significant loss of hair golovy.Pochemu so? The fact is that baldness is of particular chemical – dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This drug is an internal secretion produced by the male hormone testosterone.

As suggested by the experts, men with high testosterone levels tend to lose more hair of the head, especially if such incidents occur in the history of semi.Litsam suffering from prostate cancer, often prescribed means to reduce testosterone levels, since because of it can accelerate the processes of tumor growth, as long as they have arisen.

However, the current study indicates the opposite direction – it suggests that high levels of testosterone early in life may serve as a protective barrier to the development of this zabolevaniya.Kak notes, in particular Dr Helen Rippon of the Society Prostate Cancer Charity, if the results of research undertaken are confirmed, they may become a source of useful information on understanding behavior of testosterone in male body and the how it affects the different tissues.

Other experts, however, indicate that a direct link between hair loss and prostate cancer has not yet been installed – it just neizvestna.Bolee addition, the previous studies obtained opposite results.
