Associations between cardiovascular health and low thyroid function among US adults: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Higher thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) amidst normal thyroid hormone (TH) levels may contribute to a negative impact on cardiovascular health (CVH). We sought to probe the associations between Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a newly revised CVH evaluation, and low thyroid function among US adults.

Methods

The datasets from the 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were applied to the study. Low-normal thyroid function and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) were both regarded to be low thyroid function. Multivariable logistic regressions were utilized to inquire about the relationship between LE8 and low thyroid function.

Results

Among the 6,315 participants (age ≥20 years), 1,375 (21.77%) were ascertained to be low thyroid function.
