RADAR side effect?

Interesting RADAR correlation and medical issues; during briefings BUFF crewmembers sat by position (P,CP,RN,N,EW,G) Observing from the back, the Radar Nav, Navs and Gunners were at various levels of hair loss. Obviously not the same medical issue but wonder if the AF tracked BUFF Crew dogs in their study.

I had the opportunity in the 90s to attend a briefing with Research Engineers working on helmet visors to counter LASER issues. In several conversations with them they related medical issues within their department and staff that worked on RADAR projects.
