New research finds a link between early baldness and cancer of the male reproductive gland known as the prostate. The study involved African-American men, a group at particularly high risk of prostate cancer.
At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious connection between prostate cancer and baldness. But University of Pennsylvania researcher Charnita M. Zeigler-Johnson, PhD, says the two may be linked through a testosterone product called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. The hormonal chemical, Zeigler-Johnson explains, “is a form of testosterone that seems to be associated with male-pattern baldness and also connected to prostate cancer occurrence and prostate cancer progression.”
Previous studies have looked at the link between baldness and prostate cancer, but Zeigler-Johnson says this is the first to focus on African-American men, whose prostate cancer death rate is two and a half times that of white American men.
In the study, Zeigler-Johnson and her colleagues asked about 300 prostate cancer patients and some 200 non-patients about their baldness history. They then compared the type of baldness and the age when the men started losing hair with their medical histories..

This Christian Louboutin John John Men’s Flat Shoe from the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection retails at $865. I must say I really like the style and look of the shoe. They remind me of the classic style of the 20’s and 30’s where the lace-up style shoes were in high demand. They can definitely be rocked with a nice tailored suit or a pair of designer jeans. I’m diggin’ them!!! Something to have chillin’ in the shoe collection. They’re offered in multicolored variations: one in navy blue/gray and the other in burgundy/light blue.
