This study explores the link between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and alopecia areata (AA) using machine learning models such as K-Nearest Neighbors, Logistic Regression, and Random Forest. It was found that higher DII scores, which reflect a more inflammatory diet, are significantly associated with a greater risk and severity of AA. The Random Forest model demonstrated the highest accuracy at 98.77%. These results suggest that inflammatory dietary patterns may affect AA, indicating possible dietary intervention strategies for managing the condition.
