Abstract
163 male and female patients with confirmed metabolic status of the thyroid have been investigated with the aid of the 125-J photon absorption technique ("Bone Analyzer"). In the normothyroid group pathologically low values were found in 14.6 percent of cases. Findings which fell below a standard deviation of the normal range were regarded as pathologic. In 42 male and female patients with confirmed thyroid hyperfunction and decompensated autonomous adenomas, mineral content measurements in the radius revealed pathological values in 28.5 percent.
