Abstract

CONTEXT: The association between thyroid function and blood pressure is insufficiently studied. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the investigation was to study the association between TSH within the reference range and blood pressure. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a cross-sectional, population-based study. SUBJECTS: A total of 30,728 individuals without previously known thyroid disease were studied. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures were mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and odds ratio for hypertension (>140/90 mm Hg or current or previous use of antihypertensive medication), according to categories of TSH. RESULTS: Within the reference range of TSH (0.50-3.5 mU/liter), there was a linear increase in blood pressure with increasing TSH. The average increase in systolic blood pressure was 2.0 mm Hg [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-2.6 mm Hg] per milliunit per liter increase in TSH among men, and 1.8 mm Hg (95% CI 1.4-2.3 mm Hg) in women. The corresponding increase in diastolic blood pressure was 1.6 mm Hg (95% CI 1.2-2.0 mm Hg) in men and 1.1 mm Hg (95% CI 0.8-1.3 mm Hg) in women. Comparing TSH of 3.0-3.5 mU/liter (upper part of the reference) with TSH of 0.50-0.99 mU/liter (lower part of the reference), the odds ratio for hypertension was 1.98 (95% CI 1.56-2.53) in men and 1.23 (95% CI 1.04-1.46) in women. CONCLUSION: Within the reference range of TSH, we found a linear positive association between TSH and systolic and diastolic blood pressure that may have long-term implications for cardiovascular health.

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.
