ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The number of obese people is increasing worldwide; in particular, childhood obesity is becoming a major problem. Obesity elevates the risk of various endocrine-metabolic diseases, and it was recently reported that there was a correlation between obesity and thyroid hormone level. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between the obesity index and thyroid hormone level in healthy children with normal thyroid function.METHODS:
The study subjects included children 7-12 years of age with normal thyroid function who participated in follow-up observations from 2011 to 2014 as participants in the Ewha Infant Growth Cohort (2001-2006). Subjects with a body mass index (BMI) > or =85th percentile were classified in the overweight group for the analysis (37 subjects, 14.5%).RESULTS:
No significant differences in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or free thyroxine (FT4) levels were observed between the overweight and normal groups containing a total of 256 children (122 boys, 134 girls). Waist circumference, BMI z score, and WHtR were negatively correlated with TSH levels after adjusting for age, sex, birth weight and puberty status (P=0.03, P=0.04, P=0.05). However other obesity index did not show any relationship with TSH or FT4 levels.CONCLUSION:
In children with normal thyroid function, waist circumference and BMI z score showed a negative correlation with TSH levels.
