We prospectively examined 43 women with SH and 49 healthy controls of similar age. Fasting blood levels of thyrotropin, free thyroxin, antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin, glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin were measured. Body mass index, waist and hip circumferences, blood pressure, homeostasis model assessment 2-insulin resistance index, and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) were also evaluated. Mean systolic blood pressure was increased in SH patients versus controls (128.6 vs. 120.7 mm Hg; P 0.04). Mean values of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and insulin were not different in patients with SH compared with controls. SH had significantly higher triglyceride levels (1.50 0.65 mmol/L) and glucose levels (5.26 0.63 mmol/L) compared with controls (1.27 0.59, 5.05 0.52; P 0.04, P 0.04, respectively). Although body mass index values were similar in both groups, patients had greater waist circumference than controls (90.7 13 cm vs. 81.8 10.6; P 0.0007). The percentages of patients with SH having hypertension (34.1%), hypertriglyceridemia (37.2%), hyperglycemia (20.9%), and greater waist circumference (51.2%) were higher than the percentages in controls. Thus, the percentage of MS in patients (41.5%) was significantly higher than in controls (12.2%; P 0.003). SH had significantly higher likelihood of cardiovascular risks (odds ratio, 6.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.6–4.49; P 0.008 for MS). We conclude that SH is associated with greater probability of MS. This may increase the risk of accelerated atherosclerosis and premature cardiovascular disease in these patients.","PeriodicalId":50531,"journal":{"name":"Endocrinologist","volume":"71 1","pages":"29-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74818977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
