The findings indicated that young men with coronary artery disease had a higher prevalence of premature greying (50 percent versus 30 percent) and male-pattern baldness (49 percent versus 27 percent) compared to healthy controls.

While diabetes mellitus, hypertension, family history of premature coronary artery disease, central obesity, higher body mass index, dyslipidaemia and smoking were predictors of coronary artery disease it was to a lesser extent than male-pattern baldness, premature greying, and obesity.

The miracle substance has been named as ‘CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5’.

The findings showed that a protein called KROX20 - commonly associated with nerve development - turns on in skin cells that become the hair shaft.
