I am a 46 yr old male. i have noticed that the hair on my legs gets thinner every year while my chest hair grows like crazy! why is this?

Cardiovascular?: Lower extremity hair loss, particularly in a 46 year old male, can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease and poor circulation in the distant vascular beds. Be sure to keep up with your annual visits to ensure you are doing everything you can to prevent heart and peripheral vascular disease.
