- Abstract
The article evaluates the association of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 55-year-old Finnish men with insulin sensitivity in the city of Oulu in January 2001. The insulin sensitivity was measured by a quantitative insulin sensitivity check index. It was found that AGA is associated with insulin sensitivity and with ischemic heart disease. Classification was also based on self-reported hair status.
