Objective  Hyperthyroidism is accompanied by low bone mass. Because the reference range of TSH levels is defined statistically, some individuals with low normal TSH levels may have mild hyperthyroidism and reduced bone mass. We therefore determined whether serum TSH levels correlate with bone mineral density (BMD).

Low normal TSH levels are associated with low bone mineral density in healthy postmenopausal women.
