BACKGROUNDOsteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder. It is a disorder characterized by low bone and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk. Thyroid hormones are necessary to normal development and function of human skeleton. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between thyroid function status and mineral density (BMD) among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
