hair loss with old age?

my dads old. hes in his 60's, he has thin hair and doesn't have much hair top of his head. in older family photos he had hair when he was in his 30s and 40s. I'm trying to figure out how prone i am to hairloss, and since he is older i'm not sure if his age is a factor. My question is, is old age a factor for losing hair, or does it have to do with genetic male pattern baldness?

raiden...hair loss is a genetic issue in most and in some it has to do with other factors male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is due to the effects of several genes. As far as to your question it's hard to determine but if you look back at teh males in your family on both sides you might be able to se the answer.
