Why is baldness rare among many isolated tribes vs the developed lands?

Many still remaining in relative isolation micro-societies and tribes, mainly hunter-gathers - called such due to their lifestyle and eating habits - have been unaffected by the many diseases that plague the more developed lands, including common baldness. 

For over 100 years, explorers and scientists have observed and documented these unique health phenomenons in many different lands all over the world, among previously secluded from modern living peoples, such as South American Tsimane and Shuar, Greenland and Alaskan Inuits, Siberian Yupik, African Bushman, or Australian or Polynesian natives and many more. 

Balding men, even at old age were, and still are, a rarity among those isolated peoples and it is nearly impossible to find even one old woman with signs of thinning hair. Could this paradox be attributed solely to heredity?

As the scientific discoveries in the field of epigenetics and metabolism shed new light on the related mechanisms, it became clearer that healthy lifestyle and diet can provide baldness preventative  properties by keeping hormone DHT levels low.

Another phenomenon has also been observed among some members of the hunter-gatherers with low prevalence of baldness who get regularly exposed to more urban lifestyle and eating habits, or those who migrate to more developed regions away from their traditional hunter-gatherer living. 

Those from among them who were previously unaffected by pattern baldness, or other so-called diseases of civilization, but continue to have a steady exposure to more urban lifestyle and eating habits, are more likely to develop many previously unknown in their isolated communities diseases, such as common baldness, within one generation, or even within a few years.

Some of the easily observable differences, at a first glance, among those members regularly exposed to more modern living are overweight and pattern baldness. In time, other disorders often follow, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Many harmful environmental factors, such as harsh chemicals, high radiation and a modern diet and lifestyle, can turn on certain genes and induce, or contribute, to the diseases previously thought to be hereditary only. 

On the other hand, a healthy diet and living, similar to the hunter-gatherers, can keep, or turn the genes off, and prevent some heredity linked disorders, such as common baldness in men and women.

Those tribe members who return to their traditional lifestyle and diet, or begin following just the principles of their traditional lifestyle and eating habits, even if living in the West, have shown to prevent the progression of baldness and even reverse it.
