In recent years, sarcopenia began to receive
attention. Not only the elderly, hyperthyroidism patients also suffer from
sarcopenia. The purpose of this study is to explore the relevant factors for
sarcopenia in hyperthyroidism patients. [Methods]: Dual energy X-ray was used to detect the muscle mass
in 101 hyperthyroidism patients (23 males and 78 females, mean age 45.77 15.02 years), and calculate SMI. Pearson correlation analysis was
performed to examine the relationship between SMI and Age, BMI, Fat amount, Grip, SBP, DBP, FT3, FT4, TSH, Ca, P, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, FPG, LA, IL-6, TNF-a respectively. Spearman correlation analysis
was performed to examine the relationship between gender respectively. The
influencing factors of relative SMI status were selected by stepwise regression
analysis. [Results]: Based on Pearson and Spearman analysis, Gender (r = 0.567, p < 0.001), BMI (r = 0.245, p = 0.014), grip (r = 0.670, p < 0.001), TC (r = 0.221, p = 0.026), lactic acid (r = 0.196, p = 0.050) is significantly correlated with sarcopenia in
hyperthyroidism patients. Stepwise regression analysis showed that there
existed the close correlations between gender, BMI, grip and SMI, Y = 4.805 0.985 gender 0.044 BMI 0.045 grip. [Conclusion]: As a risk of sarcopenia
in hyperthyroidism patients, there was a correlation with gender, grip strength
and BMI. Not only the elderly, young patients with hyperthyroidism should also pay
attention to sarcopenia.
