Is physical performance influenced by thyroid hormone metabolism?
['Longitudinal analysis showed that in Eut men higher baseline FT4 was significantly (p = 0.02) predictive of a lower SPPB score at the 3-year follow-up', 'Even a modest thyroid hormone excess is associated with a reduced physical function in elderly men.', 'Oral L-thyroxine treatment was started and at a 1-month follow-up examination, mental status and physical performance were improved', 'In a population of independently living elderly men, higher FT4 and rT3 concentrations are associated with a lower physical function', 'She had generalised weakness of muscles, cold intolerance and a reduced physical performance.', "Replacement therapy by oral administration of L-thyroxin resulted in a gradual improvement of the patient's state", 'multivariate analysis revealed that total T3 was an independent predictor of VO2max', 'changes in thyroid hormone were closely correlated to myocardial functional status in patients with heart failure.', 'THR among patients with SCH is beneficial not only by improvement in lipid profile, as well as by improvement in cognitive and functional status,', 'CONCLUSIONS: Even a modest thyroid hormone excess is associated with a reduced physical function in elderly men.', 'Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) may be responsible for many cardiovascular changes, including an impaired exercise performance.', 'BACKGROUND: Physiological changes in thyroid hormone concentrations might be related to changes in the overall physical function in the elderly.']
