How do you tell who will get male pattern baldness?

Chest hair: There's a pretty good correlation with the overall pattern of masculine body hair and how soon a man will develop male pattern baldness. The teen who is the envy of his peers because of his super-hairy chest is likely to have visible loss on the top of his head by his late 20's. It's not hard-and-fast, but works pretty well.
