Is it true that carpal tunnel syndrome is linked to hypothyroidism?

Unclear. Several sources list hypothyroidism among risk factors or causes of carpal tunnel syndrome, and one reference notes the association is questioned at lesser degrees of hypothyroidism. The evidence supports an association but does not settle its strength or generality.
