Thyroid-stimulating hormone is associated with trabecular bone score and 5-year incident fracture risk in euthyroid postmenopausal women: the OsteoLaus cohort

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) excess or deficiency influences bone density and fracture risk. Nevertheless, does TSH in the reference range influence bone health? In euthyroid postmenopausal women, TSH levels in the reference range were positively associated with trabecular bone score and negatively with incident fractures, without affecting BMD. Subclinical hyperthyroidism is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased...
