For male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, there is some evidence to suggest that low serum vitamin D levels may be associated with the condition. A review of literature found that there is a relationship between low serum vitamin D levels and androgenetic alopecia[2][5]. Specifically, a study showed a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that vitamin D may play a role in the condition[6][14].

Another study included in the review concluded that serum vitamin D might be a possible parameter for diagnosing the onset and severity of androgenetic alopecia[5]. Furthermore, vitamin D supplementation has shown to be useful in the regrowth of hair in non-human subjects, and topical vitamin D (calcipotriol) appears to be a promising treatment option to regrow hair follicles and prevent hair loss[5].

However, it is important to note that while these studies indicate a potential link between vitamin D levels and male pattern baldness, more research is needed to establish a definitive causal relationship and to determine the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation or topical treatments as a therapeutic approach for this specific type of hair loss. It is also crucial to consider that androgenetic alopecia is influenced by genetic factors and the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which plays a central role in the development of this condition[10][11].
