"Stones, bones, groans, moans" is associated with what?

Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism

The correct answer is: Hyperparathyroidism

"Stones, bones, groans, moans" is a common phrase used to describe the symptoms of hyperparathyroidism, which is an overactive parathyroid gland. This condition causes excess calcium to be released into the blood, leading to kidney stones, bone pain, and muscle weakness. The other options, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism, are all related to thyroid function and do not have the same symptoms as hyperparathyroidism.
