Male pattern baldness affects around 40 percent of adult men. By the time they reach 80, over 80% of men will be bald.

The researchers identified four different types of balding: severe vertex balding, moderate vertex balding, mild vertex balding, and frontal balding. Vertex balding refers to the top, or crown, of the head, and severe vertex balding is the type most associated with an increased risk of CHD.
