the claim

Untreated hypothyroidism causes diffuse hair loss in adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that untreated hypothyroidism causes diffuse hair loss in adults?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: a review states hypothyroidism may cause diffuse alopecia, one untreated adult case report notes diffuse hair loss, and a congenital iodine-deficiency page lists hair loss, but none establishes that untreated hypothyroidism causes diffuse hair loss in adults generally.
