Baldness targets Race?

Balding is part of the wider topic of "hair thinning" and it most common in males.The most common reason for balding is Androgenic alopecia.More than 95% of hair thinning in men is male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. Male pattern baldness is characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead known as a "receding hairline" or a thinning crown balding to the vertex area.

Recent study has shown that European men are more prone to baldness. European dermatology clinics use a five stage classification system developed by Rook and Ebling to classify the type of baldness thats occurring. This is what they saw.

Mediterranean or Latin first sees recession of the frontal hairline and the development of vertex baldness.



The Jewish/Arabian starts with progressive recession of the frontal hairline but there is no associated thinning on the vertex



The Nordic starts with the vertex going bald with a central lock of surviving hair




Most Human Balding acts according to a pattern. They sometimes occur together or separately and in different frequencies. In Europe forehead recession and Monk spot are the most common type of balding while Line-of-march, common in the Mediterranean countries and Single point forehead recession. While race is in no effect over what starts baldness but it is a factor in the pattern of balding you might occur.
