Balding By Age and Race

I have seen documented incidences of pattern baldness, they suggest 20% suffer in their 20’s, 30% in their 30’s, 40% in 40’s, and 50% in their 50’s and so on usually with age. But it seems these calculations are taken including all races such as asians, black american indian, hispanic specifically mexican man all of which have much lower incidents of male baldness.

I am a white man and it seems to me many white man experience some loss when they hit age 40, do you have any idea what the numbers would be if it was strictly white males and not other race.

These would be my guesses if just taking into account white males :

30% suffer in their 20’s, 40% suffer in 30’s, 60% suffer in their 40’s, 65-70% suffer by they reach their 50’s. And if a man doesnt experience any male baldness when they are in their mid 50’s near 60, in most cases these are the males that die with most of their hair.

Maybe my projections are inaccurate but i rarely see a white man with a full head of hair in their 60’s, 70’s. On average, i would say by age 70 8 out of 10 men suffer MPB. WIth the remaining 20% after age 70 escaping the god awful disease we know as MPB.

What do you think?

Breakdown of racial variations by age and degree of hair loss is not well documented. There are suggestions that Caucasians may have more hair loss than non-Caucasians. As a person ages, the first appearance of hair loss lessens in severity. If you reach 40 without any evidence of hair loss, chances are you are not going to bald. With that said, actor Don Ameche had a full head of hair at 50, but he had a nearly complete Norwood Class 6 pattern balding pattern by the time he appeared in the movie “Cocoon” in his mid-70s. So, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to balding by race. There has been interest recently in obtaining better documentation of this by geography (i.e. race) and studies may be coming in the future. Of interest, the American Indian (those that came from the Alaska migration) do not have balding at all. This makes the American Indian unique for racial groups. There is no explanation of this.
