Male Pattern Baldness

You may have heard that adults who experience male pattern baldness inherit the trait from their mom’s side of the family. Before the moms out there start experiencing ‘mom guilt’ about 30-40 years too soon, take a deep breath, exhale, and get ready to not beat yourself up further.

Although it’s true that the X chromosome you pass on is home to a key gene for determining baldness, studies show that baldness on either side of the family could be passed along to your baby boy. Furthermore, modern research has shown that acceleration of fibrosis and calcification, brought on by inflammation, is as much a determinant of MPB as genetic predisposition. So your kid will assuredly have a good chance to keep his locks, if he’s willing to take really good care of his health.
