Yes it’s mostly due to HU. But we don’t have a choice
Vertical ridges in the nails are very common as we age.
I have them but they predate my starting on HU. I'm 69 years old and there's all kinds of speculation on why these occur - could be nutrition, in my case it could be that I have hypothyroidism, but no one seems to know for sure.
