Association between thyroid dysfunction and insulin resistance: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between thyroid disease and diabetes markers.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

The study was conducted in a diagnostic setting where the primary care providers recommended the patients to test for thyroid and diabetes panels.

Participants

The thyroid and diabetes markers were tested in 32 787 subjects with suspected thyroid and related conditions who visited Vibrant America Clinical Laboratory between January 2015 and June 2019.

Results

Our general prevalence results showed that homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was elevated in overt hypothyroid subjects (43.7%) and overt hyperthyroid subjects (42.2%). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) was elevated in subclinical hypothyroid subjects (19.2
