- Abstract
Introduction: Reaction time is the time interval between onset of stimulus and occurrence of response. Normal thyroid functions are essential to the attentiveness and alertness. The patients suffering from the thyroid disease have an altered reaction time. Hence, this study was aimed to find any association between thyroid disorders and Reaction Times namely Auditory and Visual. Method: This case control study had a total of 90 subjects included, 60 study subjects having thyroid disorders (hypothyroid and hyperthyroid) and 30 euthyroid cases, aged between 16- 45 years. The subjects were evaluated for their anthropometric measure, haemogram estimation, thyroid profile which was followed by the measurement of auditory reaction time and visual reaction time. Result: The results of the ART and VRT values in all the subjects were compared and analysed statistically. Conclusion: The ART & VRT values were increased in subjects having thyroid disorders when compared to their normal control. The Values was found to be higher in hypothyroid subjects when comparison was made amongst the study subjects.
