- This study focused on examining thyroid, glycemic, lipid, and metabolic bone disorders in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) compared to a matched control group.
- Although the body mass index (BMI) and physical activity levels were similar between both groups, PAH patients exhibited higher glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels and a greater prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism.
