WHY DOES MEN GET BALD AT THE AGE OF 30S

More than 95% of hair thinning in men is male pattern baldness,[1] or androgenic alopecia.[2] Male pattern baldness is characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead (known as a "receding hairline") and/or a thinning crown (balding to the area known as the ‘vertex’).[3] Both become more pronounced until they eventually meet, leaving a horseshoe-shaped ring of hair around the back of the head.
The incidence of pattern baldness varies from population to population and is based on genetic background. Environmental factors do not seem to affect this type of baldness greatly. One large scale study in Maryborough, Victoria, Australia showed the prevalence of mid-frontal baldness increases with age and affects 73.5 percent of men and 57 percent of women aged 80 and over. A rough rule of thumb is that the incidence of baldness in males corresponds to chronological age. For example, according to Medem Medical Library's website, male pattern baldness (MPB) affects roughly 40 million men in the United States. Approximately 25 percent of men begin balding by age 30; two-thirds begin balding.  Men who go bald early dont have higher levels of testosterone or Dihydrytestosterone they just have hair follicles that are more sensitive to the sex hormones. This is due to genetics. Diet has very little if anything to do with male pattern baldness. If youve got the delayed action gene you will go bald no matter what you eat. http://www.ifriends.net/?pccacct=virginforest
