The association between circulating saturated fatty acids and thyroid function: results from the NHANES 2011-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Excessive saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are known to be detrimental to human health. Although the majority of research and dietary guidelines have focused on the intake of SFAs, there has been limited attention to the relationship between circulating SFA levels and hormonal regulation, such as that of thyroid hormones.

Methods

To explore potential associations, we conducted an investigation with 579 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2012. Subgroup analyses and multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the relationships between eleven distinct SFA concentrations and various thyroid parameters.

Results

For 579 adults, subgroup analysis of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) revealed significan
