HAIR RAISING Bald men are twice as likely to suffer severe Covid, experts warn

BALD men are up to twice as likely to suffer severe Covid, experts have warned.

New research suggests they spend up to twice as long in hospital with Covid than those who still have a full head of hair.

They are also admitted to intensive care in higher numbers.

Scientists say men’s Covid vulnerability largely comes down to male sex hormones called androgens.

Men who are genetically more sensitive to androgens appear to be more likely to suffer severe Covid.

They are also more likely to have hair loss, called androgenetic alopecia, which affects around half of men over the age of 50.

The common condition also affects women in a different way, causing thinning at the crown of the head typically over the age of 65.

Androgenitic alopecia has previously been linked with several other conditions including heart disease and diabetes.

A team of US doctors measured men’s sensitivity to androgens by counting a chemical called CAG.

High levels indicate that a man is more likely to have hair loss.

Of 65 men hospitalised with the infection, those with high CAG levels had worse Covid outcomes in the 60 days following their hospitlisation.

They spent 47 days in hospital, on average, and 70.6 per cent were admitted to ICU.
