Does race affect hair loss?

Does race affect hair loss?

As well as the strong influence of sex on hair loss, a relationship has been observed between hair loss and race, which shows that Caucasians have a higher incidence of hair loss compared to people of other races (Asian, African, Native American).
We can state that there is a close relationship between hair loss and the different races.
Not all races follow the same age patterns in terms of hair loss. One example is the fact that in the United States, androgenetic alopecia affects 50% of Caucasian men and women over the age of 40.
As mentioned above, Caucasians show the highest propensity for hair loss - considerably higher than other races. This is especially true in men.
• Caucasian men are 4 times more likely to suffer from alopecia at an earlier age than men of African extraction.
• The Japanese develop androgenetic alopecia approximately a decade later than Caucasians and its prevalence is 1.4 times lower in each 10-year age bracket.
• The prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in Korean men is lower than among Caucasians. Furthermore, female-pattern alopecia, which occurs very rarely in men, is more frequent among Koreans.
• Asian, Native-American and African-American men have a greater chance of keeping the front part of their hair and, when they do suffer from hair loss, baldness has been shown to be less extensive.
