Key message What is already known on this topic? - Previous studies have suggested the role of some cathepsins in renal cancer occurrence and progression.

It is the primary cause of primary hypothyroidism and affects women more frequently than men. Nearly 95% of individuals with HT exhibit thyroid peroxidase antibodies or thyroglobulin antibodies. Dietary factors, including vitamins and trace elements such as zinc, play a significant role in thyroid health; yet, clinical guidelines lack explicit dietary recommendations for AIT.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study investigates the relationship between dietary zinc intake (Zinc) and AIT using data from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 5467 participants were analyzed, including 273 individuals with AIT and 5194 without AIT. Clinical characteristics, dietary Zinc, and other relevant variables were assessed.
