Abstract：Objective To explore the relation between serum thyroid stiumlating hormone (TSH) level and lipid metabolism in euthyroid subjects.Methods The 1 002 subjects involving physical examination and who had a normalthyroid function from Jan.to Dec.of 2012 were enrolled in the study.The age,gender,body mass index,serum TSH were analyzed,lipid levels of different TSH levels within the normal range were compared.Results Serum TSH level was significantly higher in women group than in men group [(3.4 ± 1.7) mIU/L vs (2.7 ±1.6)mIU/L,P ＜ 0.05]; and significantly higher in overweight group than in control group [(3.0 ± 0.9) mIU/L vs (2.4 ± 0.8) mIU/L,P ＜ 0.05] ; levels of body mass index,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were increased in TSH ＞ 2.50-4.78 mIU/L women group compared with those in TSH ≤ 2.50 mIU/L women group.Pearson relation analysis showed that TSH was associatiated positively with age and total cholesterol in all euthyroid subjects(r =0.104,0.180,0.233,all P ＜0.01).Conclusion The serum level of TSH is positively correlated with total cholesterol.
