Is it true that thyroid disorders cause hair loss?
Unclear. Multiple sources associate thyroid dysfunction, particularly hypothyroidism, with hair loss: a clinical study found hair loss in 42.6% of hypothyroid patients, and reviews link thyroid dysfunction to telogen effluvium, alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia. However, these establish association in specific thyroid conditions and hair-loss types rather than a general causal claim that thyroid disorders cause hair loss.
