Exploring the associations of the triglyceride‒glucose index with thyroid function in subclinical hypothyroid patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often occurs in association with the emergence of the metabolic disorder like insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) index and thyroid function in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), to identify metabolic predictors of thyroid dysfunction.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used convenience sampling, and data were collected after written informed consent. This study was conducted at tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan, and included 2024 subclinical hypothyroid patients with an age > 19 years. Individuals with any thyroid condition, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders or chronic liver conditions were excluded. Regression, ANOVA, and long sho
