The association between TSH within the reference range and serum lipid concentrations in a population-based study
European Journal of Endocrinology, 03/02/07

Asvold, B., et al. – Is there a significant link between TSH levels and lipid concentrations?
>Summary: A cross-sectional, population-based study was carried out using 30,656 subjects without known thyroid disease. Using general linear models, mean concentrations of total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides across categories of TSH were calculated for each individual.
Outcomes: Within the range of TSH that is considered clinically normal, it was found that increasing levels of TSH were associated with less favourable lipid concentrations. The association with serum lipids was linear across the entire reference range of TSH
