[QUOTE="Eusung, post: 130780, member: 37047"] According to my research about 85% of men will start balding by age 70 or 80. Then after that the number will only go higher. Does being genetically predisposed to balding include people who would hypothetically start balding at a very old age? In my case...I have no hair loss whatsoever at age 36. My hair is also extremely thick...annoyingly so (both on my head and my entire body...even my shoulders). My older brother, 38, also has no hair loss at all but has always had thin hair. My cousins on both sides of my family...some of them in their mid to late 40s...have no hair loss. Yet the older generation in my family in general has had hair loss to varying degrees (some more than others). In general....they lost their hair at a slower rate than most people. One exception is my oldest uncle on my dad's side: late 70s and no hair loss. Just semi grey/black full head off hair. No receding hairline. Now my dad is 72 years old...still has a significant amount of hair but also a receded hairline. I don't know when it started receding...but it happened very slowly. The hair that hasn't gone away looks ok (mostly black, only hair loss is frontal). He does have a grey beard though. Basically my dad's hair looks like Dr. Sam Lam....except my dad's face looks older as he is 72 and Dr. Lam looks about 50 to 60: [ATTACH=full]6406[/ATTACH] Another anomaly: my youngest uncle on my dad's side: started balding really young. By the time he was in his 40s he was completely bald on the top of his head but plenty of hair on the sides....but he is the exception here...none of my relatives lost top hair that fast. On my mom's side, my uncles, two of them I know of, seemed to have most of their hair intact...even if they did lose some (they were in their 60s or 70s when I saw them. My grandpa (my dad's side) is 100 years old. He only has a little hair on the sides...no hair on the top of his head. My other grandpa on my mom's side....died when I was very young...he didn't appear to have hair....but I can't remember if it was because he shaved his head or literally had no hair. We are all Asian if that is relevant. So when talking about people who are NOT predisposed to balding, are we talking about people who will never go bald who have older relatives who have also never lost hair? Isn't that extremely rare?
