A new study shows that although Asian men (Yellow people) are generally less prone to baldness compared to white people, the situation may be different if they are regular smokers.
The study suggests that smoking can damage hair follicles, hinder hormone and blood circulation in the scalp, and increase the secretion of male hormones. Researchers studied 740 men with an average age of 65 and found that those who smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day were more likely to experience moderate or severe hair loss. At the same time, the researchers pointed out that in general, the main cause of baldness in Asian men - androgenic alopecia - occurs later than in white men, which is consistent with previous research findings. However, there have been fewer studies on the relationship between baldness and smoking in Asian, black, and Native American men compared to white men.
The researchers suggest that if men experience early signs of hair loss, they should check if it is related to smoking to prevent further hair loss.
