Which Europeans are less prone to baldness genes?

[Richmondbread]

Is there any measure of Europeans that experience less baldness than others? Or even in the phenotypes? The Native Americans seem to rarely experience baldness. But White Europeans have more.

Do Alpines have more baldness than Nordics? Or is it more randomness? I assume that the Southern Europeans have more baldness than the very far North.



What about those of the Middle East and Levant? They seem to keep their hair longer as well.

[Figaro]

Speaking of the Arab world, they do have very strong genes for baldness- about 60% of Arab men experience MPB.

I think Spaniards as a group are also one the most people prone to baldness many get it as soon as they reach 30.

Ive seen many mexican men the more European they are the more prone to baldness too

What about Germans and Irish? I think Irish actually have less balding than any other White Europeans that I can see.

Caucasians are most prone to male baldness and Asians the least. I could only find this which lists the 11 Baldest countries. The rest just have 5 or 10. There is no list that has all European countries. Details are in the link below.

1. Czech
2. Spain
3. Germany
4. France
5. UK

The rest of Europe would be similar or not far behind these other countries.

I'm 38 in May, and with small bald spot and receded sides, I still have my hair lol. Still thick and curly. I do know many Arabs though that do go bald.

My brother in law is Palestinian, and he has hair, but grew gray at 17. Really sucks.

[michal3141]

I would guess baldness is related to hairiness since a lot of people who go bald seem to also be very hairy overall.
My theory is that the organism is only capable of maintaining certain amount of hair and when some people become more hairy over the years they also tend to go bald because their organism cannot maintain so much hair.
Of course the amount of hair the organism can maintain vary depending on genetics, health, age, diet etc.

[Todesritter]

Baldness is related to DHT levels, high levels of DHT mean more body hair and facial hair, but also earlier baldness. I'd be inclined to say blond nordics experience it less, as I've rarely ever seen balding blond men except for the extremely elderly. That's from the genetic side of things; lifestyle contributes and the lower work hours and more relaxed cultures of the mediterranean might be mitigating some heritable baldness.

You'd think so, but there are guys who are really hairy chest and have thick full heads of hair. So I guess it depends..

From what I've seen, Germans seem to be extremely prone to balding.

Genetics dictates follicular sensitivity to DHT. In other words you can have the highest levels of DHT, but it won't effect your baldness if you are genetically not prone to it. DHT causes hair growth all over body and paradoxically no hair on top of your head aka baldness.

To further complicate this matter there are many other reasons why a man can go bald that might not have anything to do with DHT.

[AndreiDNA]

I think the more northern and eastern admixture one has the less likely he is to bald (in Europe at least)
I don't have proof, this is just a hunch

[Dardanos]

We Albanians tend to go bald a lot, I am 30 years old and I am going bald. I started shaving my head monthly.

[Feiichy]

I don't think there is much difference in balding with Europeans, with exception of Uralic folks who are least balding due to Siberian DNA admixture. And no I didn't notice difference between southern and northern Europeans, only between Finno Ugric influenced groups and the rest.

Balding is Caucasian trait.

I would say blacks are more prone to balding than whites. Always in American movies and videos from USA there is more bald blacks than whites. Baldness look bettter on blacks than on whites.

yeah, but American blacks are like 20% European on average. I don't know how is it in SS Africa.

I carry male pattern baldness genes, I checked. But I think most white Europeans do.

Are they blonde? That reminds me of my dad. He didn't ever go bald, and didn't start going grey (just a bit on the sides) till just before he passed at 79.

Yes! Their hair is also very fine, but there is so much of it. My grandfathers had a lot of hair their whole lives but eventually went white in their 80s

That's how my hair is and how my dad's was. I often wonder if mine will go white, and not grey at all.

Yeah, I can't pass outside the Balkans and the Caucasus, maybe as Eastern European, and maybe in Italy?

My father and my grandfather are bald, most of my paternal side is either completely bald or in the process. On the other side, my maternal grandpa still has his hair intact, so yeah, nature played a prank on me.

It seems to be rather a myth? My mother's father was bald, but both me and my brother have hair. My brother is even better off hair wise than me, even tho he's 13 years older. My father wasn't bald and no baldness on my dad's side. It seems like your father being bald determines it more than the old wives tale about your mother's father.

Yeah, you are probably right, I have paternal cousins who were bald at 24–27 and went to Turkey for an operation. Personally, I do not care so much, in the beginning I did because I liked my hair. But now I like myself with a shaved head even more. My wife said she likes it too, so yeah.

[Shardana]

Least: Northeastern Europe

Most: Southern Europe , there are no studies but from my own observation it seems 90% of Sardinian men (EEF genes) experience some sort of full MPB and at the very least thinning after the age of 20-25

although i do think the "rate" for it is pretty balanced between all Caucasoids, specifically Europids, its almost certain that West Asians and South Euros are more prone to it but i wouldnt say it is a very much higher rate compared to the average european since it seems the majority of Caucasoid men do experience some sort of thinning as they age, but not all go full Norwood 6

The Highest frequency of Male pattern baldness seems to be in Western Asia, my own take is that it developed as a dimorphic trait to signal a man has fully matured, probably both farmers and Yamnaya spread norwood genes into europe.

another interesting note is that peninsular Arabs seem to bald much less compared to Levantines , Armenians, Turks etc , maybe this could imply Balding is tied to Farmer/CHG/Zagros genes rather than Natufian ?

[SilverKnight]

I'm partially bald, but my dad and uncle have it worst

[vandor]

Zero signs of baldness in almost 39 and no gray hair.

I think Central Euros (especially Germans) go much more bald than Meds do.

You and majevica have similarities in look and facial expression.

[Flashball]

It is important to distinguish between a higher-than-average predisposition to androgenetic alopecia and its actual expression, which depends on the sensitivity of hair follicle receptors to DHT and on where the miniaturization process begins.
However, this expression (the real phenotypical thing, not just the genetic predisposition) of alopecia also depends on age, since the sensitivity of hair follicle receptors can increase over the years. As a result, someone might feel "untouchable" at 30, only to start developing follicles that become highly sensitive to DHT a year later…

For example, my father, according to his raw genetic data, appears to have a relatively high predisposition to androgenetic alopecia. Yet at 30, he still had a very full head of hair, basically Norwood 0–1. At 35, the same. At 40, Norwood 1, still relatively juvenile in appearance (of the frontal line and temporal points). By 50, he was Norwood 3, then at 55 Norwood 4, and it has stayed around Norwood 4 ever since.
The problem with androgenetic alopecia is that it can be quite insidious, which is why it’s better to take dutasteride to avoid ending up in the same situation as my father (who at one point took brewer’s yeast, but as we know, that does nothing to address the follicle sensitivity to DHT).

In reality, since androgenetic alopecia is unpredictable in its expression, "checking your DHT level" is not the solution because the sensitivity of hair follicle receptors to DHT can be extremely high even with a 50% DHT level. This is why some men continue to experience hair miniaturization even while taking finasteride : because they have an extreme sensitivity to DHT, even when it is reduced by 60%...

The worst-case scenario for a guy is to end up in the same situation as my father: starting to lose hair at the very moment you think you’re untouchable, and then losing it very quickly, without having been properly informed about the available treatments (which are relatively inexpensive and have few side effects, if one reads the scientific studies carefully instead of relying on the retarded media).

To answer the question, i would say that i don’t really know, as i haven’t read comprehensive studies on the subject.
If we take being Norwood 1 at age 40 as a sign of a scalp relatively spared by androgenetic alopecia at that point in time, then the proportion of 40 year-old men at Norwood 1 might be around 30%, even among Northern Europeans, maybe least.

However, a more rigorous scientific methodology would be needed.

Haircafe is a good Youtube channel.

Baldness look better on blacks than on whites.

That statement is correct according to a study (https://www.newsweek.com/bald-white-men-less-attractive-hair-black-difference-psychology-study-1642260) by Bucknell University.

My father didn't begin to go bald well into his 50s, my Grandfather never did, but his hair was snow white when he passed. I'm in my mid-30s and have yet to show any signs of hair loss, but I'm beginning to grey now at the temples. Had my first grey hairs in my mid-20s

Homeboy probably even gonna lose his eyebrows and nose hairs at that rate

[villainchai]

I honestly don't think I've noticed more bald Czech men than other types of Europeans though. Maybe it depends on region. No man on either side of my family became bald as far as I'm aware.
