TLDR Lack of vitamin D might cause hair loss due to autoimmune problems, and fixing vitamin D levels could help treat it.
The document from 2020 discussed the role of vitamin D deficiency in the development of autoimmune diseases, specifically focusing on alopecia areata (HA). The authors suggested that the onset of any autoimmune disease, including HA, could be seen as a symptom of long-standing vitamin D deficiency. They proposed that normalizing vitamin D and hormonal levels could be a pathogenic approach to treating HA and preventing other autoimmune diseases. However, the document did not provide information on the number of people studied, limiting the strength of the conclusions.
