   * **[[home:pathogenesis:th1spectrum|Comorbidities with other inflammatory conditions]]** – According to observational studies, patients suffering from known inflammatory diseases are somewhat more likely to get gray hair and vise-versa. This suggests some kind of shared pathology.   * **[[home:pathogenesis:th1spectrum|Comorbidities with other inflammatory conditions]]** – According to observational studies, patients suffering from known inflammatory diseases are somewhat more likely to get gray hair and vise-versa.

-    * **Heart attack (myocardial infarction)** – After statistical adjustment for possible confounders, one research team found a correlation between graying of the hair, facial wrinkling, and frontoparietal baldness and crown-top baldness and myocardial infarction in men.(({{pubmed>long:7484729}})) The relative risk was greater for men with completely gray hair as compared to men with moderately gray hair. Men who had completely gray hair had approximately double the risk of heart attack as compared to men with no gray hair. A similar although weaker and not statistically significant trend was seen in women. +    * **Heart attack(myocardial infarction)** – After statistical adjustment for possible confounders, one research team found a correlation between graying of the hair, facial wrinkling, and frontoparietal baldness and crown-top baldness and myocardial infarction in men.(({{pubmed>long:7484729}})) The relative risk was greater for men with completely gray hair as compared to men with moderately gray hair.

 <blockquote>For the past 25 years my mark of distinction has been my silver hair and beard. I liked to think that, as for the mature "silver-back" gorillas, it put me at the top of the status tree. Now I face being an 80 year-old with the "mousey" hair of my youth. I started Benicar on 2/2/07. A few weeks later, I felt my hair didn't look shiny clean after a wash. Then my son-in-law said, "Your whiskers are going black". Sure enough, close inspection showed the unfashionable dark roots. Eleven weeks into the MP, I showed my doctor a 3cm hair with a 1cm white tip and a 2cm dark base. I was able to reassure him that all was explicable under the rationale of the MP. <blockquote>For the past 25 years my mark of distinction has been my silver hair and beard.
