Abstract: Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction and Body Composition in Hyperthyroidism.The purpose of this article is to review aspects of skeletal muscle dysfunction and body composition in hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is associated with general muscle weakness, which is part of the initial clinical manifestation of about 80% of patients, compromising their daily activities and quality of life.

Alterações na função músculo-esquelética e na composição corporal em indivíduos com hipertireoidismo podem ser quantitativas, como perda de peso corporal e de massa muscular, e/ou qualitativas, com modificações na função intrínseca da musculatura 6 .…”
