Article Synopsis
- The study explores how thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may influence the risk of developing metabolic syndrome among individuals over 40 years old in Guiyang, China.
- A total of 10,140 participants were assessed, and after analyzing the data, those with high TSH levels (above 4.78 mIU/L) had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to those with normal TSH levels.
- The findings suggest that elevated TSH levels are linked to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, indicating the need for regular screening in individuals with high TSH.
The relationship of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and rapid decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated. A total of 10 140 patients participating in the epidemiological study (Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individuals, REACTION) of risk factors of type 2 diabetes in China were followed up for 3 years, with MS being diagnosed by adult treatment panel III (ATPIII) combined with waist circumference in Asian population and renal function being evaluated by eGFR <60 mL·min(1.73 m and rapid decline of eGFR ≤30%.
