Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and circulating thyroid hormones are not associated with bone turnover markers or incident hip fracture in older men

Clinical Endocrinology Jun 23, 2018

Siru R, et al. - In this prospective cohort study, the researchers evaluated whether thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) were correlated with bone turnover markers (BTMs) and if they can predict hip fracture risk in community-dwelling older men with no known thyroid disease. Study participants were 4,248 men aged 70-89 years. It was observed that TSH and FT4 were not correlated with BTMs or incident hip fracture in euthyroid older men. In the study population, neither subclinical thyroid dysfunction, TSH, nor FT4 were predictive of incident hip fracture.
