2. Figure 1
Prevalence of neuromuscular symptoms (patients versus controls). (A) Data from all participants: there was a greater prevalence of cramps, myalgia, and weakness in subclinical hypothyroidism in comparison to controls. (B) Data excluding smokers from analyses did not show modifications in results. *Statistical significance (P<0.05); #borderline significance (P ≥ 0.05 and ≤0.09).

3. Figure 2
Prevalence of participants with altered manual muscular test and abnormal quadriceps and inspiratory strength. (A) Data from all participants: the frequency of altered MMT was significantly higher in subclinical hypothyroidism when compared with controls; (B) Data excluding smokers did not alter the results. MMT, manual muscle testing; QS, quadriceps strength; IS, inspiratory strength. *Statistical significance (P<0.05).
