Paul,
Most alopecians are otherwise perfectly healthy. While there have been some links made between alopecia and other diseases (such as celiac disease) and it has been suggested that alopecia may indicate an increased susceptibility to other autoimmune disorders, there is really nothing to suggest that alopecia makes you significantly more likely to develop any other health problems. I'm certainly not worrying about any further implications of my alopecia. The alopecia itself caused me more angst than it was worth already!
Best Wishes!
Jeff
