| Summary: | The aim of this study is to identify the association of thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroxin levels with body mass index (BMI) and waste circumference in men and women with overweight and obesity. Current study was performed within the HAPIEE. The sample of 280 subjects (125 men (44.6%) and 155 women (55.4%)) was analyzed. Thyroid stimulating hormone level was high in integrated subsample with II and III obesity degree (body mass index ≥35 kg/m2). Average levels of general thyroxin were significantly higher in abdominal obese women with body mass index ≥30 (according to NCEP-АТР III, 2001), than in subjects with normal weight and overweight. Significant decrease of general thyroxin was detected in men with gross obesity (body mass index ≥35 kg/m2). In comparison with men women have positive correlation between general thyroxin level and waist circumference. |
