In order to relate the clinical expression of Graves' disease and Plummer's disease to age and thyroid hormone level, we prospectively studied 39 patients with Graves' disease and 26 patients with Plummer's disease using a standardized clinical score. Multiple regression analyses were performed with the clinical score as dependent variable and FT4I, age and diagnosis as independent variables. Our results show that patients with Graves' disease tend to have more signs and symptoms than patients with Plummer's disease. In addition, we found a positive correlation between the clinical score and FT4I. We did not find an age dependence of the clinical score, after controlling for diagnosis and FT4I. The age dependence reported by other authors is mainly due to the higher prevalence of Graves' disease among younger age groups in contrast to Plummer's disease.
