Abstract

Diabetes mellitus coexisting with primary hypothyroidism is believed to be rare. Seventy-nine such cases were seen between 1960 and 1973. Statistically this association appears to be more frequent than the separate frequencies of the two disease warrant. The patients were mostly females, and invariably obese. Diabetes preceded hypothyroidism in the majority of cases. This frequent association is presumed to be of autoimmune origin.

摘要

糖尿病与原发性甲状腺功能减退症并存被认为是罕见的。1960年至1973年间共发现79例此类病例。从统计学上看，这种关联似乎比这两种疾病各自单独出现的频率更高。患者大多为女性，且均有肥胖问题。在大多数病例中，糖尿病先于甲状腺功能减退症出现。这种频繁的关联被推测为自身免疫性起源。
