Features of Thyroid Function in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

According to the results of the largest epidemiological studies, the prevalence of hypothyroidism in women is 4-21% and 3-16% in men and is characterized by a significant increase in its frequency among older people. In this connection, the study of the relationship of these diseases is relevant in order to improve diagnosis and treatment. We came to the conclusion that in patients suffering from MS average TSH level is higher than in people of the same age without metabolic syndrome, and with an increase in the number of MS components, a decrease in the functional activity of the thyroid gland occurs.
