Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the association between male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methodology: Cohort study, data collected by co-authors. All extracted data were input to Excel sheets and further imported into STATA version 14. The study’s results were reported in the form of descriptive statistics.

Results: This study found no significant associations between MPB and BPH. Nonetheless, the study demonstrated that patients with increased baldness severity have higher rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity.

Conclusion: There is no association between MPB and BPH.
