with a head full of hair, the researchers in Japan to view.

earlier research on the relationship between hair loss and heart problems.
They showed that the thin hair on the crown of coronary

family history.
But not a hair loss seems to influence the risk.
Focus on Lifestyle
Tomohide Yamada, Tokyo University, told the BBC: "We
have a significant, albeit modest, between Calvo, at least in the upper part of
the head and the risk of heart disease.
"We believe there is a connection, but not as strong as
many other known compounds such as smoking, obesity, cholesterol, and blood
