Serum TSH related to measures of body mass: longitudinal data from the HUNT Study, Norway: Serum TSH and body mass
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Thyroid function and body mass are related, but the causal relationship remains unclear. Our objective was to investigate the longitudinal relationship between thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and body mass measures [body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-hip-ratio (WHR)]. DESIGN: We used data from two waves of a population-based study: HUNT 2 (1995-1997) and 3 (2006-2008). Average follow-up time was 10·5 years. Multivariable general linear and logistic regression models were used to assess the relation between TSH and the body mass measures. PARTICIPANTS: In total 9954 women and 5066 men without self-reported thyroid disease and TSH within the reference range (0·5-3·5 mU/l) at baseline and <10 mU/l at follow-up. RESULTS: For each mU/l increase in TSH among women, weight increased 0·9 kg (95% CI 0·8, 1·1), BMI 0·3 kg/m(2) (95% CI 0·3, 0·4) and WC 0·6 cm (95% CI 0·3, 0·8). In men, the corresponding figures were 0·8 kg (95% CI 0·5, 1·0), 0·2 kg/m(2) (95% CI 0·2, 0·3) and 0·5 cm (95% CI 0·2, 0·8). In line with this, a weight gain of more than 5 kg was associated with a TSH increase of 0·08 mU/l (95% CI 0·06, 0·11) in women and 0·15 mU/l (95% CI 0·12, 0·18) in men. Women who lost more than 5 kg decreased their TSH by 0·12 mU/l (95% CI 0·09, 0·16) and men by 0·03 mU/l (95% CI -0.02, 0·09). CONCLUSION: Weight gain is accompanied by increasing TSH, and weight loss in women is related to decreasing TSH.

“Higher TSH levels were associated with increased BMI [65, 66], and in longitudinal studies, individuals with rising TSH levels over time exhibited greater weight gain [67, 68].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
