The title really should refer directly to alopecia. Those of us that have it likely know the name. For everyone else, they don't realize that "male pattern baldness" is completely different.

I believe "male pattern baldness" is known as androgenic alopecia. Unfortunately, I don't think this research applies to those with androgenic alopecia.

Indeed, though I think most people don't know that. My thoughts are with this new title fewer folks with receding hair lines will get their hopes up.

Granted... I am not exactly sure this was a problem. So, apologies if I made it sound like this was a dire concern. And thanks to the mods for changing the title! :)
