No apparent association was found between subclinical hypothyroidism or subclinical hyperthyroidism defined on single TSH measurement and BMD at the lumbar spine and femur in a large cohort of middle-aged men and women.
Moreover, BMD at the lower distal and ultradistal forearms might be affected by subclinical hyperthyroidism, and higher femur neck BMD could be affected by subclinical hypothyroidism.
