Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the associations between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and diabetes in euthyroid adults in the United States and China. METHODS 2296 euthyroid adults from the NHANES in the United States and 8319 euthyroid adults from the SPEED-Shunde in China were involved. The thyroid sensitivity indices, namely TFQIFT4 and TFQIFT3, were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline analysis, and general ordinal logit regression were utilized. RESULTS In the NHANES, compared with participants in quartile 1st (Q1), those in Q4 of TFQIFT3 (OR 2.12, 95% CI (1.18, 3.81)) and those in Q3 of TFQIFT4 (OR 2.31, 95% CI (1.18, 4.53)) (both P for trend < 0.05) were associated with a greater prevalence of diabetes. In the SPEED-Shunde, compared with participants in Q1, those in Q4 of TFQIFT3 had a greater prevalence of diabetes (OR 1.36, 95% CI (1.11, 1.66) (P for trend < 0.05), while no significant associations between TFQIFT4 and diabetes were found. CONCLUSIONS TFQIFT3 was associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes both in the United States and China. However, TFQIFT4 was only associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes in the United States, not in China. Further prospective cohort studies are necessary to validate these findings.

Relationship between Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index and cardiovascular diseases in a population with normal thyroid function: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2012. Clin Cardiol 2024; 47:e24271.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous study has demonstrated a link between TFQI, indicating the central sensitivity of thyroid hormones, and conditions like obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. HYPOTHESIS Nevertheless, the potential relationship between TFQI and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with normal thyroid function has yet to be established. METHODS The present research is a retrospective cohort investigation that included a total of 6297 individuals who had normal function of the thyroid and no history of thyroid disorders. These participants were selected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data set, covering the years 2007-2012. The calculation of TFQI was performed depending on FT4 and TSH. Given the complex survey design and sample weights, we used multivariate linear regression models and stratified analysis to evaluate TFQI's correlation with CVD. RESULTS Subjects with CVD had greater levels of TFQI than those with no CVD. After adjusting for other covariates, TFQI exhibited a positive association with CVD risk, and the OR was 1.706 (p = .005). In subgroup analyses that were stratified by sex and BMI, it was shown that female individuals who had CVD had greater levels of TFQI in comparison to female participants without CVD (p = .002). Furthermore, elevated levels of TFQI were consistently connected to a raised incidence of CVD in the BMI (>28 kg/m2) group after regulating for different covariates. Furthermore, correlation analysis showed an association between TFQI and metabolic biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS The levels of TFQI are strongly connected to the prevalence of CVD, indicating that energy metabolism may be related to the occurrence of CVD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the sex difference and effects of blood pressure (BP) on the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and carotid plaque in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This large multicenter retrospective study included 12099 patients with CHD (aged 35-75 years) between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2020. Patients were divided into three groups according to systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), and the SUA levels in males and females were converted into three groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of sex and BP on the relationship between SUA levels and carotid plaque in patients with CHD. In the model of male BP subgroups, using the BP of group A (normal with SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg) as a reference, SUA levels were significantly correlated with the occurrence of carotid plaque under different BP states (P < .001). In contrast, in the model of female BP subgroups, most of these correlations were not statistically significant. Our study showed that SUA levels were significantly associated with carotid plaque occurrence in males with CHD, which remained significant across different BP states.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of thyroid hormone sensitivity with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is unclear. This study investigated the relationship between the thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and the risk of PTC and the influence of thyroid hormone sensitivity on the aggressive clinicopathologic features of PTC. METHODS This retrospective study recruited 1225 PTC patients and 369 patients with benign nodules undergoing surgery in Zhongshan Hospital in 2020. The thyroid hormone sensitivity indices were thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), TSH index (TSHI) and thyrotropin thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI). We employed logistic regression models to explore the correlation between the thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and the risk of PTC and its cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM). RESULTS PTC patients had significantly higher levels of TSH, TFQI, TSHI and TT4RI compared to the patients with benign nodules, but thyroid hormone levels did not differ significantly between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the higher levels of TFQI, TSHI, and TT4RI were associated with an increased risk of PTC after adjustment for multiple risk factors (TFQI: OR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.39-2.65, P < 0.001; TSHI: OR = 2.33, 95% CI:1.67-3.26, P < 0.001; TT4RI: OR = 2.41, 95% CI:1.73-3.36, P < 0.001). In addition, patients with decreased thyroid hormone sensitivity had a higher risk of cervical LNM in multiple logistic regression analysis (TFQI: OR = 1.38, 95% CI:1.03-1.86, P = 0.03; TSHI: OR = 1.37, 95% CI:1.02-1.84, P = 0.04; TT4RI: OR = 1.41, 95% CI:1.05-1.89, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormone was associated with an increased risk of PTC, and it is also associated with a higher risk of cervical LNM in PTC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between thyroid hormone sensitivity and albuminuria remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and the risk of albuminuria in a euthyroid population. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 7634 euthyroid adults collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2007 and 2012. Central sensitivity to thyroid hormones was evaluated using the thyroid-stimulating hormone index (TSHI), the thyrotrophic thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI), and the thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI). Peripheral sensitivity to thyroid hormones was measured using the free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine (FT3/FT4) ratio. Furthermore, the independent relationship between sensitivity to thyroid hormones and albuminuria was assessed. RESULTS The proportion of albuminuria increased with a higher interquartile range of TFQI levels (7.31% vs. 7.89% vs. 7.95% vs. 9.89%, P = 0.024). Furthermore, TFQI was found to be independently associated with the risk of albuminuria after adjusting for confounding factors (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.01-1.60, P = 0.037). Subgroup analysis revealed a significant relationship between TFQI and albuminuria, especially among individuals over 60. CONCLUSIONS In euthyroid subjects, impaired central sensitivity to thyroid hormones is associated with albuminuria. TFQI holds significant potential as an epidemiological tool for quantifying the impact of impaired central sensitivity on the risk of albuminuria.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between thyroid and type 1 diabetic nephropathy (T1DN) in euthyroid populations, focusing on thyroid hormone sensitivity. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2021, including 357 euthyroid patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Parameters representing thyroid hormone sensitivity were assessed, including the thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), parameter thyroid feedback quantile index (PTFQI), thyroid stimulating hormone index (TSHI), thyrotropin thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI), and free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine (FT3/FT4). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression were performed to detect the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and the risk of T1DN. Results The study found a negative correlation between the risk of T1DN and FT3/FT4 in euthyroid T1DM patients (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-0.97, P <0.01). PTFQI (P<0.05), TSHI (P<0.05), and TT4RI (P<0.01) showed an M-shaped nonlinear relationship with the risk of T1DN. Elevated risk of T1DN was associated with PTFQI, TSHI, and TT4RI values outside the range of zero, 2.3-3.88, and 27.56-32.19, respectively. Conclusion This study confirms the relationship between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and the risk of T1DN in euthyroid patients. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating thyroid hormone sensitivity in T1DM patients, even when their thyroid function appears normal, to promptly prevent the occurrence of T1DN.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) and glucose metabolic state in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 52,062 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified according to FAR tertiles (T1: FAR < 0.0073; T2: 0.0073 ≤ FAR ≤ 0.0886; T3: FAR ≥ 0.0887). Patients were also classified into the normal glucose regulation (NGR) and elevated blood glucose (EBG) groups. The relationship between FAR and EBG was analyzed using logistic regression, and the association was evaluated according to sex and age. Among the participants, 32,471 (62.4%) had EBG, which was positively associated with FAR (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-1.23). The OR of the FAR for EBG in males was higher than that in females (1.25; 95% CI 1.18-1.33 vs 1.15; 95% CI 1.10-1.20). Moreover, the OR of FAR for EBG was greater in patients aged 60 or younger (OR: 1.25; 95% CI 1.18-1.33) than in the elderly patients (over 60 years of age) (OR: 1.15; 95% CI 1.10-1.20). The results indicated a significant relationship between FAR and EBG and this association was higher in males and middle-aged patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with Down Syndrome (DS) showed multiple comorbidities, including thyroid disorders, obesity, and metabolic derangement. Different thyroid hormone (THs) patterns and sensitivity to thyroid hormone indices (STHI) seem to be associated with metabolic disorders. The study's aim was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in pediatric patients affected by DS, taking into consideration the relationship between the metabolic parameters, THs and STHI. METHODS We enlisted 50 euthyroid patients with DS (9.03 ± 4.46). Clinical parameters, TSH, FT3, FT4 and the presence of MS were recorded. Indexes of peripheral sensitivity (FT3/FT4 ratio) and central sensitivity (TSH index, TSHI; TSH T4 resistance index, TT4RI; TSH T3 resistance index, TT3RI) were also detected. Thirty healthy subjects were included as a control group. RESULTS MS was detected in 12% of the subjects with DS. FT3, FT4, and TSH levels were higher in DS than in the control group (p < 0.01); higher levels of FT3/FT4 ratio, TSHI and TT3RI and lower TT4RI values (p < 0.01) were also detected. A significant correlation was detected between FT3 and fasting blood glucose (FBG) (R = 0.46), triglyceride (TG) (r = 0.37), total (r = 0.55) and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (r = - 0.38), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r = - 0.4); FT3/FT4 ratio and waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.36); TSHI and total (r = 0.30) and HDL cholesterol (r = - 0.31); TT4RI and HDL cholesterol (r = - 0.31); TT3RI and total (r = 0.39) and HDL cholesterol (r = - 032). CONCLUSION We confirmed a higher MS prevalence in children with DS compared to the control group. A significant association between THs, STHI, and the glucose and lipid metabolism parameters was detected supporting their role in metabolic alterations related to the DS.

Abstract
Purpose Thyroid hormones sensitivity is a newly proposed clinical entity closely related with metabolic health. Prior studies have reported the cross-sectional relationship between thyroid hormones sensitivity and diabetes; however, the longitudinal association is unclear to date. We aimed to explore the relationship between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity at baseline and diabetes onset using a cohort design. Methods This study enrolled 7283 euthyroid participants at the first visit between 2008 and 2009, and then annually followed until diabetes onset or 2019. Thyrotropin (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) were measured to calculate thyroid hormone sensitivity by thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), Chinese-referenced parametric thyroid feedback quantile-based index (PTFQI), thyrotropin index (TSHI), thyrotroph thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI) and FT3/FT4 ratio. Cox proportional hazard model and cross-lagged panel analysis were used. Results The mean baseline age was 44.2 ± 11.9 years, including 4170 (57.3%) male. During a median follow-up of 5.2 years, 359 cases developed diabetes. There was no significant association between thyroid hormones sensitivity indices and diabetes onset, and adjusted hazard ratios per unit (95% CIs) were 0.89 (0.65-1.23) for TFQI, 0.91 (0.57-1.45) for PTFQI, 0.95 (0.70-1.29) for TSHI, 0.98 (0.70-1.01) for TT4RI and 2.12 (0.17-5.78) for FT3/FT4 ratio. Cross-lagged analysis supported the temporal association from fasting glucose to impaired thyroid hormones sensitivity indices. Conclusions Our findings could not demonstrate that thyroid hormones sensitivity status is a predictor of diabetes onset in the euthyroid population. Elevated fasting glucose (above 7.0 mmol/L) appeared to precede impaired sensitivity indices of thyroid hormones.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the association of sensitivity to thyroid hormone with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in a Chinese euthyroid population. METHODS A total of 3573 participants from Pinggu Metabolic Disease Study were analyzed. Serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyrotropin (TSH), total adipose tissue (TAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) area of abdominal, and lumbar skeletal muscle area (SMA) were measured. Central thyroid hormone resistance was calculated by the Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (TFQI) and Chinese-referenced Parametric TFQI (PTFQI), Thyrotroph T4 Resistance Index (TT4RI) and TSH Index (TSHI). Peripheral thyroid hormone resistance was assessed by FT3/FT4 ratio. RESULTS Higher values of TSHI (odds ratio [OR] = 1.167, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.079-1.262, p < .001), TT4RI (OR = 1.115, 95% CI: 1.031-1.206, p = .006), TFQI (OR = 1.196, 95% CI: 1.106-1.294, p < .001), PTFQI (OR = 1.194, 95% CI: 1.104-1.292, p < .001), and lower values of FT3/FT4 ratio (OR = 0.914, 95% CI: 0.845-0.990, p = .026) were associated with MetS. Increased levels of TFQI and PTFQI were associated with abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension. Increased levels of TSHI and TT4RI were associated with hypertriglyceridemia, abdominal obesity, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Reduced levels of FT3/FT4 ratio were associated with hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia. The levels of TSHI, TFQI, and PTFQI were negatively related to SMA and positively related to VAT, SAT, and TAT (all p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Reduced thyroid hormone sensitivity was associated with MetS and its components. Impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity might affect the distribution of adipose tissue and muscle.

Endocrine 2023; 79:459-468. [PMID: 36434323 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-022-03254-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Thyroid hormones affect lipid metabolism via central and peripheral regulation. However, there have been few studies on the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia. We aimed to investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 31,678 patients with CHD were included in this large multicenter retrospective study. Central thyroid hormone sensitivity was evaluated using the thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), parametric thyroid feedback quantile-based index (PTFQI), thyroid-stimulating hormone index (TSHI), and thyrotropin thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI); peripheral thyroid hormone sensitivity was assessed by the ratio of free triiodothyronine (FT3)/free thyroxine (FT4). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia. RESULTS Among 31,678 participants, 21,648 (68.34%) had dyslipidemia. In the multi-adjusted models, the risk of dyslipidemia was positively correlated with TFQI (odds ratio [OR]: 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.05), PTFQI (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.06-1.12), TSHI (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.06-1.11), and TT4RI (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.05-1.11). Conversely, the risk of dyslipidemia was negatively correlated with FT3/FT4 (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.92-0.97). In stratified analyses, the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia was statistically significant for different sexes, glucose levels, and blood pressure states. CONCLUSION There is a significant association between sensitivity to thyroid hormones and dyslipidemia, regardless of sex, glucose level, or blood pressure. Graphical abstract.
