Article Abstract

Obesity often coexists with thyroid diseases, and the prevalence of these disorders has been on the rise for years. While hypothyroidism can contribute to excess fat tissue, the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and thyroid function hormones is bidirectional. Research confirms that fat tissue reduction can positively impact thyroid function. Thus, delaying the initiation of therapies beyond substitution treatment to achieve optimal weight reduction in individuals with thyroid dysfunction seems unwarranted. The authors summarize current knowledge on this topic in the article.
