Prevalence and predictors of thyroid nodules among adults: analyzing the association with metabolic syndrome in a cross-sectional study
Metabolic syndrome significantly predicts the presence of thyroid nodules, suggesting shared pathophysiological mechanisms, including chronic inflammation and hormonal dysregulation. These findings underscore the importance of integrating metabolic health management into thyroid nodule evaluation and highlight the need for multidisciplinary approaches to optimize care and prevention strategies.
