Pattern baldness

Baldness is one of the things that are part of the aging process. Even so, it’s deeply uncomfortable for many to watch it happen. As a 2007 study published in the “European Journal of Dermatology”, research has found that hypertension is strongly associated with baldness, to the surprise of many.
