Abstract
A total of 1 510 subjects undergoing physical examination in the Central Hospital of Xuzhou were included in this study. According to the level of TSH, the subjects were divided into low TSH group(0.30-0.99 mIU/L, n=351), moderate TSH group(1.00-1.89 mIU/L, n=703), and high TSH group(1.90-4.80 mIU/L, n=456). Analysis of variance and linear regression were used for data analysis. The results showed that systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), triglyceride(TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)revealed significant differences among 3 group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the univariate linear regression model, serum TSH within the reference range was negatively associated with SBP and DBP(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and positively associated with TG and HDL-C(P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, the correlations disappeared after adjustment for gender, age, body mass index, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), and TG. In the multiple linear regression model, a significant negative correlation of TSH with SBP and FPG was found in males(P<0.05).
