Introduction: Early thyrotoxicosis is associated reduced bone density. The aim of this study is to determine any difference between bone mineral density (BMD) in those presenting with overt or subclinical thyrotoxicosis.Methods: Retrospective observational study of BMD in individuals presenting with thyrotoxicosis from 2008 to 2013. BMD was assessed by bone densiometry using T, Z, and total BMD within 1 year of first abnormal thyroid fu...
