“…Some authors have studied the effect of the thyroid hormones on BMI, and it has been demonstrated that the thyroid dysfunction affects on body weight. Hypothyroidism leads to induce in body weight, whereas hyperthyroidism decrease it (Milionis, and Milionis, 2013). Our results is in agreement with the data of Humerah et al, (2016), who showed that in hypothyroid patients, increased BMI strongly supporting the previously reported correlation between the level of TSH and obesity (Marinou et al, 2010).…”

“…Milionis A and Milionis C in the year 2013 where they also found the correlation between BMI and various thyroid hormones different in both sex, in males BMI was negatively with TSH. Males result was contradict to my study (18). This study emphasizes that Subclinical Hypothyroid peoples are also characterized by increased BMI.…”

Hypothyroidism is a syndrome resulting from thyroid hormone deficiency or rarely inefficacy. It is a common endocrinological problem affecting especially women and the elderly. Thyroid hormones play an important role in synthesis, metabolism and mobilization of lipids. One of the most important symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain or inability to lose weight. The rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity in the past 20 to 30 years emphasizes the important role of lifestyle and environmental factors, because genetic changes could not have occurred so rapidly. Obesity is a complicated process that depends on signals of satiety and hunger, genetics, endocrine abnormalities, and other factors. Our study purposes to investigate the relationship between BMI and thyroid function in patients of subclinical hypothyroidism. Objective of this study is to correlate thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) and body mass index (BMI) in male and female patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. This cross sectional study included 42 Subclinical hypothyroid patients, both males and females between 20-45 years of age and without a history of alcohol or tobacco consumption, history of any cardiovascular disorders or diabetes mellitus and any drug history like corticosteroids, beta blockers. and TSH test estimated by VITROS 5600 integrated analyzer and correlated with body mass index. The results showed a positive Correlation analysis in subclinical Hypothyroid males between BMI and TSH, (r= 0.47), which was found to be statistically significant (p=0.02*) in case of subclinical Hypothyroid females the results indicated positive correlation between BMI and TSH (r= 0.58) which was found to be statistically significant (p=0.005*). A strong positive correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH).

“…Thus, the present study was aimed to find out the association between the serum thyroid stimulating hormone levels and body mass index. 15 In the present study the serum TSH levels were strongly correlated with the body mass index. The serum TSH levels were much higher in overweight and obese subjects when compared to normal subjects in the adults.…”

Introduction: The prevalence of the obesity is increasing day by day globally. One of the most important factors causing obesity is thyroid dysfunction. The present study was aimed to assess the association between the serum Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and the body mass index (BMI). Material and methods: 80 subjects were recruited in the study in which 40 were male and 40 were female. The age, gender, body weight and height were noted and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured using ECLA method. The serum TSH levels were compared with age and the body mass Index (BMI). Results: The subjects were divided into 4 groups based on the body mass index. In the present study 6.25% of subjects were under weight, 12.5% subjects were normal weight, 17.5% were overweight, and 62.5% were obese. The mean TSH of underweight, normal weight, over weight and the obese groups were 13.36 ± 5.52 µIU/ml, 15.16 ± 5.77 µIU/ml, 26.30 ± 21.4 µIU/ml, and 61.66 ± 27.50 µIU/ml respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between the serum TSH levels and the body mass index and negative correlation between the age and the serum TSH levels. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, a highly significant association was found between the serum TSH levels and the body mass index. The mean TSH levels were higher in the obese subjects and there was no association between the serum TSH levels with the age and gender.
