Is hair loss in Euro men related to an animal based diet , few Asian and African men seem to have baldness?

Many African and Asian cultures had a tradition ( until recently) of eating mainly vegetable diets, with little meat and dairy foods.Is hair loss in Euro men related to an animal based diet , few Asian and African men seem to have baldness?
no diets will not have any effect on hair loss till the time u are not malnutritioned ... the major reason for hair loss is Alopecia.. and there are many known reason for the same ..Read this blog it might put some more light on the whole situation..Is hair loss in Euro men related to an animal based diet , few Asian and African men seem to have baldness?
I think you would have expected europeans to have more hair because of the cold weather so they h keep their head warm. However, the climate in Europe is not much different than the US. In Norway and Sweeden it is much colder. There has to be some selective advantage of this type of genetics to survive. Now hair loss in men has also been associated, in some, with increased Testosterone. Now increased Testosterone would surely offer a selective advantage to those that have it.
No, typical male pattern baldness is due to genetics not diet. There is a gene called 5-alpha reductase which turns the male hormone, testosterone, into DHT. As a man ages, the DHT builds up in the hair follicles on the scalp which leads to hair loss. Male pattern baldness is a dominant genetic trait which means if either parent carries the genes for it, then all of the children will likely have the gene and pass it on to their children which explains why more men - and even some women - are exhibiting the trait with each new generation By the way, a woman's body produces testosterone too but not as much as a man's body does.
