Psychological factors and obesity, not thyroid biomarkers, predict thyroid-dependent quality of life in treated hypothyroidism: a cross-sectional study
These results suggest that psychological factors, particularly somatosensory amplification, might play a major role in influencing QoL in hypothyroid individuals on adequate levothyroxine replacement. Our findings do not corroborate a significant role for autoimmune inflammation or tissue-level hypothyroidism.
