In recent years, there have been more and more "bald" people, not only the elderly, but also countless young people who have gone to the road of hair aging in advance, seeing that there is less and less hair on the top of the head, so some people are worried that the bald hair, the shorter the lifespan.
Some people say that after the age of 50, the balder the hair, the shorter the lifespan? Is this statement credible or not?
50 years old, has not yet reached the range of the elderly in the mainland, that is, the World Health Organization calls the 60~74-year-old people young elderly, so why does the hair become bald at the age of 50? Is it closely related to longevity?
First, see if you're losing your hair or losing your hair?
It is recommended that everyone take this matter into perspective, for hair loss, if you only lose less than 100 hairs a day, it is normal, and with the normal metabolism of hair, it will grow.
However, if it exceeds this range for a long time, the hair that can be clearly seen becomes thinning, especially the position of the hairline is constantly moving upward, or there is obvious baldness, so you should be wary of "hair loss". In addition, hair loss caused by this cause should be taken seriously regardless of age, even if you are after the age of 50.
In addition, from a clinical point of view, from the perspective of common types of hair loss, including alopecia areata, it mainly refers to non-cicatricial alopecia caused by autoimmunity, which is a skin disease, and the common symptoms of the disease are easy to fall out, nails are sunken, and other parts of the body are prone to hair loss.
At present, the cause of alopecia areata is not yet clear, or it comes from emotional emergency response, or it may be an autoimmune disease caused by genetic or other factors.
Among the types of hair loss, there is also a kind of androgenetic alopecia, which is also known as seborrheic alopecia, premature alopecia, male pattern alopecia, etc., due to the characteristics of the disease, there is a certain difference in the symptoms of male and female symptoms.
For example, in men, the hair usually begins to thin slowly on the sides, and finally the top of the head is most noticeable, and the hairline is receding; In women, starting at the top of the head and appearing elsewhere, the overall picture is stronger and there is no noticeable receding of the hairline.
In terms of the causes of androgenetic alopecia, there are also genetic factors, disease factors, and people with bad lifestyle habits, such as excessive mental stress, etc., may induce or aggravate the condition of androgenetic alopecia.
It can be seen that the cause of both alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia has nothing to do with the person's lifespan, no matter how old you are 50 years old or how old you are, do not be careful that your life expectancy will be affected by this, and you should seek medical attention in time.
