What Causes Hair Loss From The Eyebrows?

My sister, age 67, is experiencing a loss of her eyebrows. She also is losing weight with no explanation. She has significant pain in her joints and muscles - she has had a hip and two knee replacements. Cortisone shots are no longer effective. Could these all be tied together?
