男人年輕就脫髮晚年更易患前列腺癌

A study found those with the disease were twice as likely to have started going bald when they were 20 Men who begin going bald at 20 have twice the risk of prostate cancer in later life, according to research. The link could help identify those most in danger of developing the disease – the most common cancer among men in the UK – and enable them to be targeted for screening.

從威廉王子的脫髮程度可以得出結論：皇室(查爾斯)的脫髮基因得到了很好的傳承。有最新研究顯示，但凡是20多歲就脫髮的男子，晚年患上前列腺癌的機率會比正常人大整整兩倍。據悉，這種在英國男人中最最普遍的癌症發展趨勢逐漸得到人們的重視，脫髮與前列腺癌的直接關係開始得到相關醫療工作者的重視，專家建議，年輕的脫髮男子最好去醫院做做體檢，從而更好排查獲得前列腺癌的風險。

A study of 388 prostate cancer patients and 281 healthy volunteers found those with the disease were twice as likely to have started going bald when they were 20. But for those who lost their hair later, when they were 30 or 40, there was no difference in their risk compared to the control group. Until now there has been conflicting evidence about the relationship between hair loss and cancer. Baldness is caused by DHT, a chemical produced by the male hormone testosterone. Studies have also linked testosterone to cancer tumour growth

科學家針對388名前列腺癌病人以及281名健康的志願者進行了科學調查，他們發現年紀輕輕(20歲左右)就禿頂的男子患前列腺癌的機率比正常人要大得多。但是，對於那些“中年禿頂”的男子，比如說在30歲到40歲左右禿頂的男子，尚未在脫髮與前列腺癌之間獲得任何直接關係。據悉，脫髮的原因主要是由於體內的--雙氫睾酮而造成的。而脂溢性脫髮的根本原因是雙氫睾酮(二氫睾酮)造成的，雙氫睾酮(DHT)是雄性荷爾蒙在5α-還原酶的作用下形成的，強力的DHT進入細胞核，對於代謝系統產生作用。
