The Relationship

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between TSH and forearm bone mineral density (BMD) in a general female population.DesignCross-sectional, population-based study.MethodsIn a substudy of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study 1995–1997 (HUNT 2), 5778 women without and 944 with self-reported thyroid disease aged ≥40 years had their serum TSH and distal and ultra-distal forearm BMD measured. In range-based categories of TSH, excluding women with previous thyroid disease, a general linear model was used to calculate adjusted mean BMD, and a logistic regression model to compute adjusted odds ratio (OR) for osteopenia and osteoporosis. Corresponding models were used to compare BMD in women with self-reported hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism to euthyroid women.ResultsIn women without self-reported thyroid disease, those with TSH <0.5 mU/l had 10.7 mg/cm2 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.2–21.1) lower distal and 9.1 mg/cm2 (95% CI −0.7–18.9) lower ultra-distal BMD than women in the reference category (TSH 0.50–1.49 mU/l). No differences were found between the categories with TSH ≥0.50 mU/l. Compared to self-reported euthyroid women, self-reported hyperthyroid women had increased odds for osteoporosis both distally (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.00–1.82) and ultra-distally (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.10–1.99).ConclusionWomen with the lowest TSH (<0.5 mU/l) had lower forearm BMD than the reference category. No differences were observed between the TSH categories ≥0.50 mU/l. The prevalence of osteoporosis was higher in women who reported hyperthyroidism than in women without self-reported thyroid disease.

SummaryThe present cross-sectional research was designed to study possible correlations between clinical reproductive factors and bone mineral density (BMD) values.Using the data gathered by the population-based Iranian Multicenter Osteoporosis Study (IMOS), we investigated the correlation found between reproductive factors and osteoporosis. Subjects were recruited from five major cities of Iran. Bone mineral density was measured using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry and the results were analyzed against the age at menarche and at menopause, number of pregnancies, children and abortions, and the history (and duration) of breastfeeding.Data was available for 2528 women. Gravidity and number of children were reversely correlated with BMD. Younger age at menarche was associated with higher BMD values, whereas there was no significant correlation between age at menopause and menstrual history and BMD.Our study suggests that clinical reproductive factors, particularly number of children and breastfeeding, could be incorporated as predictors of BMD levels in women. Given the controversial results obtained in different studies, longitudinal studies should be carried out to enlighten the importance of these factors and the rationale of their use to predict BMD values in different settings.
