Abstract
Background: Thyroid dysfunction especially hypothyroidism and Metabolic Syndrome (MeS) are two entities which affect blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, serum triglycerides and HDL-Cholesterol. Both are associated with increased chance of cardiovascular disease. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study done among 98 patients with metabolic syndrome in a tertiary care hospital in South India with an aim to find prevalenceof hypothyroidism and its association with components ofmetabolic syndrome. Results: Majority 92(92.9%) were females in our study. 89.2% had history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and 62.2% had history of Hypertension (HTN). Among the subjects 39(40%) had subclinical hypothyroid state and 11(11%) had overt hypothyroidism. In our study we found that thyroid dysfunction that is hypothyroidism is significantly present in middle aged people (40-49 years), over weight patients and female gender. In our study we found that mean Waist circumference, diastolic BP and fasting blood glucose were more among thyroid dysfunction group compared to that of Euthyroid stateConclusion: Thyroid dysfunction particularly hypothyroidism is associated with metabolic syndrome and has to be seriously viewed as a threat in long term.
