Association between thyroid hormone and cardiovascular health: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Large-sample clinical research evidence in humans regarding the association between thyroid hormones and cardiovascular health is limited. The American Heart Association introduced the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) as a novel metric for assessing cardiovascular health. This study aimed to explore the plausible connection between thyroid hormone levels and LE8.

Methods

This study employed data extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning from 2007-2012, focusing on individuals aged 20 and above. To investigate the association between thyroid hormone and LE8, diverse analytical methods, including weighted multivariate linear regression, restricted cubic spline curves, and stratified analysis, were utilized.
