Balding = heart problems?!!! by Electric Storm2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Uh-Oh. I'd better warn my 90-year old father by voxwoman 2005-05-05 05:24:24
He's been bald for almost 60 years now. </sarcasm>

It seems to me that (1) the medical insurance companies have a nice method of jacking up rates for bald men (or denying them coverage completely) and (2) has any of these people who conducted this study looked into, well, let's see... the social stigma attached to bald men in our society? Ya think the added stress over appearance MIGHT have something to do with elevated blood pressure? Anyone? Buller?

I'm assuming these are all American men - I'd like to see a study of bald men and heart disease in a culture where baldness is a positive attribute.
