What this trial studies
This hospital-based cross-sectional study will characterize organ morphometry and musculoskeletal status in adults with hypothyroidism. Participants will undergo standard clinical and anthropometric assessments, ultrasound exams of the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, handgrip strength testing, and physical performance tests (Five Times Sit-to-Stand and 4-meter gait speed). Thyroid function will be characterized by measuring TSH and FT4, alongside data on hypothyroidism duration and treatment. The goal is to understand multi-organ changes and physical function in this population, addressing gaps in Central Asian data where comprehensive, standardized assessments are limited.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could help clinicians understand how hypothyroidism may be linked to organ and muscle changes, informing monitoring and management strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Evidence from prior studies suggests multi-organ assessments can reveal associations with thyroid status, though data in Central Asian populations remain limited.
