Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate bone density (BMD) and osteoporosis in patients with hyperthyroidism. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. All 71 participants, aged from 20 to 50 years old. In which, there were 35 patients with hyperthyroidism and 36 control group at Nghe An General Friendship Hospital from September 2020 to September 2021. Results: The mean bone density (T-Score) at all sites (femur neck and lumbar spine) in hyperthyroid patients was statistically significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The rate of bone density disorder in the hyperthyroid group was 48.6% and the rate of osteoporosis was 35.5%. The rate of bone density disorder in the hyperthyroid group with disease duration 6 months (70.6%) was statistically significantly higher than in the group with disease duration < 6 months (27.8%) with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Hyperthyroidism has a negative effect on bone density, reducing bone density and increasing the risk of osteoporosis. In particular, the longer the disease duration is a high risk factor of bone density disorders in patients with hyperthyroidism.
