Is There Really Relationship between Androgenetic Alopecia and Metabolic Syndrome?

Comparison of MS parameters and BMI in AGA and control groups.

	Patients (); (%)	Controls (); (%)
BMI ≥25 kg/m^2	35 (47.2)	26 (61.9)	0.130
FBG ≥100 mg/dL	1 (1.3)	9 (21.4)	<0.001
TG ≥150 mg/dL	23 (31)	17 (40.4)	0.306
HDL <40 mg/dL	28 (37.8)	17 (40.4)	0.779

Chi-square test. MS: metabolic syndrome; AGA: androgenetic alopecia; BMI: body mass index; FBG: fasting blood glucose; TG: triglyceride; HDL: high density lipoprotein; BP: blood pressure; Waist C: waist circumference.
