Exploring the association between muscle mass and thyroid function in Chinese community subjects over 45 years old with normal thyroid function: a cross-sectional analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, nothing is known about the connection between muscle mass and thyroid hormone levels in middle-aged and elderly Chinese with normal thyroid function. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential association between muscle mass and thyroid function status in middle-aged and elderly Chinese subjects with normal thyroid function.

Methods

A cohort of 1868 participants in China were included in this retrospective study; their mean age was 53.97 years, and their skeletal muscle mass index was 7.44 kg/m². Of them, 60.97% were men. Thyroid hormone concentrations, standard biochemical indices, and the frequency of chronic illnesses were among the many factors that were evaluated. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to assess th
