    "Bald men at greater risk of serious coronavirus symptoms

    Bald men could be at greater risk of having serious coronavirus symptoms, according to new research. The lead author of a study in Spain said he believes baldness is a ‘perfect predictor’ of the severity at which people will suffer from Covid-19.

    Brown University’s Professor Carlos Wambier conducted two studies in Spain which found that a disproportionately high number of men with male pattern baldness were taken to hospital with coronavirus.

    The first study found of 71% of the 41 patients examined with Covid-19 in Spanish hospitals were bald, with the background rate of baldness for white men of a similar age to the patients between 31 and 53%.

    The second study, which was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, found 79% of the 122 male coronavirus patients in Madrid hospitals were bald."
