説明

A weight-corrected UAC of 109 males and 292 females with untreated thyrotoxicosis was compared with that of the same number of control subjects. Control subjects were chosen from the subjects without apparent diseases; one control for one patient with about the same age, height and weight. The mean value of the weight-corrected UAC in thyrotoxic patients was 25.4cm both in males and females. The mean value of the controls was 26.7cm in males and 26.0cm in females. These findings suggest that UAC of thyrotoxic patients is smaller than that of controls even in the same height and weight, and that there is a significant decrease of body muscle mass in thyrotoxic patients.<BR>Furthermore, it was suggested that the body muscle mass was decreased in 4 cases which had a long term steroid therapy, because the weight-corrected UAC was smaller than that of the controls.
