The association between thyroid function and insulin resistance as measured by the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR): insights from NHANES 2007-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Altered thyroid function has been linked to insulin resistance (IR), but its relationship with the Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR), a novel non-insulin-based index of IR, remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between thyroid function status and METS-IR in a U.S.

Population

Methods

This cross-sectional study utilized data from 6,507 adults (aged ≥ 20 years) participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2012. Thyroid function status was categorized into five groups based on thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxine levels. METS-IR was calculated from measures of fasting glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and body mass index (BMI). Multivar
