The health status and the prevalence of metabolic disorders of adult endemic cretinism—An epidemiological study in China
Adult endemic cretinism patients demonstrate significantly elevated serum lipid levels and are more susceptible to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, conditions closely associated with their underlying hypothyroidism. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring and managing metabolic parameters in adult endemic cretinism patients.
