What determines how quickly miniaturised hair becomes bald?

jduk83
5 years ago i saw a trichologist and was told that i had miniaturisation all over my scalp. I haven't used any treatments. My hairline corners have definitely receded slightly and the thin spot at my crown has probably become slightly more obvious but in general I still have most of the hair on my head despite being told that it was all thinning. What determines the rate of miniaturisation if there are such things as hair cycles? How do I still have mine yet some guys go bald in a few years?
