Association of subclinical thyroid dysfunction with bone mineral density and fracture: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

ConclusionSubclinical hyperthyroidism could induce additional risk on fractures at any, hip, spine, and non-spine, whereas subclinical hypothyroidism did not have any impact on fractures. 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.
