Metabolic syndrome frequency was increased in our study population compared to the general population. Metabolic syndrome parameters (except HDL) correlated with TT3, FT4, and the FT3/FT4 ratio. FT4 levels were associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome independently of insulin resistance, whereas TT3 levels were associated with both insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. This relationship can be explained by compensatory effects of TT3, and probably FT4, on energy expenditure and thermogenesis in obese people.

HbA1c is an independent predictor of the in-hospital mortality in STEMI treated with primary PCI. Apart from prognostic value, high HbA1c could be used for diabetes mellitus diagnosis, which is supported by ADA definitions.

Our findings revealed that lower FT3 levels and older age predict the likelihood of developing GDM in euthyroid pregnant women, with no influence of other thyroid hormones or blood counts on the risk of GDM.
