This study aims to explore the relationship between TSH levels and metabolic factors in euthyroid individuals.Methods: A total of 2,663 subjects were enrolled from a nationwide population-based cross-sectional survey of iodine nutrition, thyroid disease and diabetes in China (2014–2017). Euthyroid individuals were divided into four groups according to quartiles of TSH levels: group A (n=305, 0.3–1.3 mIU/L), group B (n=829, 1.3–2.2 mIU/L), group C (n=673, 2.2–3.2 mIU/L) and group D (n=349, 3.2–4.2 mIU/L). Anthropometric parameters, biochemical indicators and TSH levels were determined.Results: A total of 2,156 euthyroid subjects with serum TSH levels within the normal range accounted for 86.8% of the sample. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) in group D was significantly higher than that in the other three groups. Group C displayed significantly lower thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels than the other three groups. Group C also had lower anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels than groups A and D, whereas the TgAb levels in group B were only lower than those in group A. Spearman’s or Pearson’s linear regression analysis showed that SBP (r=0.054; P=0.013) was positively correlated with TSH, but cholesterol (TC) (r=−0.043, P=0.047) was negatively correlated with TSH. Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that SBP, the urinary iodine concentration (UIC), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), TC, triglycerides (TGs) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were independent predictors of serum TSH levels.Conclusion: This large population-based study demonstrates a significant interaction between metabolic factors and TSH levels. An adverse weight status, high blood pressure levels, blood lipid metabolism disorder and excessive iodine intake may be early manifestations of thyroid disease in euthyroid subjects.Keywords: thyroid-stimulating hormone, metabolic syndrome, iodine nutrition, euthyroid state  Ren RMa YDeng FLi TWang HWei JJiang XHe MTian MLiu DChen BDeng WDove Medical Pressarticlethyroid-stimulating hormonemetabolic syndromeiodine nutritioneuthyroid stateSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1563-1569 (2019)
