Abstract:
Objective:To understand the thyroid function of the physical examination population in Tangshan area, and analyze the effects of thyroid function on blood lipids, fasting blood glucose (FPG), and serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D].Methods:A population from the Tangshan area who underwent physical examinations at the Kailuan General Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 was selected as the study subjects and the levels of their thyroid serological indicators [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine (TT3), and thyroid hormone (TT4)] were tested. According to thyroid function, they were divided into normal group, hyperthyroidism group, hypothyroidism group, subclinical hyperthyroidism group, and subclinical hypothyroidism group. We compared the blood lipid indicators [triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], FPG, and 25(OH)D levels in different subgroups, and the Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between TSH levels and blood lipids, FPG, and 25(OH)D levels.Results:In this study, 2 884 subjects were selected from the physical examination population in Tangshan area. The proportion of people with abnormal thyroid function was 12.03%(347/2 884), among which the proportion of subclinical thyroid function abnormal population in the total thyroid function abnormal population was 80.69%(280/347). As men age, the proportion of thyroid dysfunction in the age groups of 21-<30 years old, 30-<40 years old, 40-<50 years old, and ≥50 years old was 5.06%(4/79), 7.52%(33/439), 8.91%(53/595), and 9.95%(66/663), respectively. The proportion of thyroid dysfunction in the above age group of women was 14.02%(15/107), 15.06%(61/405), 15.47%(67/433), and 29.45%(48/163). The serum TG, TC, LDL-C, and 25(OH)D levels in the hyperthyroidism group were lower than those in the normal group, while HDL-C and FPG levels were higher than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The serum TG and TC in the hypothyroidism group were higher than those in the normal group, while FPG and 25(OH)D were lower than those in the normal group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). TSH levels were positively correlated with TC and LDL-C, while negatively correlated with FPG and 25(OH)D (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is the main cause of thyroid dysfunction in the Tangshan area, and TSH levels are correlated with blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, and serum 25(OH)D levels.
