The association of thyroid stimulating hormone and body fat in adults
The study unveiled a statistically significant positive association between TSH and TPF in adults. Upon sex stratification, similar statistically significant relationships were observed between TSH and adiposity (TPF, APF, GPF) in females, while males exhibited a U-shaped non-linear relationship between TSH and APF.
