Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of several metabolic disorders including hyperglycemia, reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol, raised triglyceride level in serum, hypertension and abdominal obesity. Thyroid dysfunction (TD) was found to be more frequent between patients with metabolic syndrome. MetS and its related components are associated with functional and morphological alteration of the thyroid gland.
The present study was conducted at the MM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research. The study includes 300 patients with MetS as a case and 300 healthy volunteers as a control. MetS was diagnosed according to international diabetes federation. Thyroid status was correlated with age, sex and waist circumference (WC) amongst metabolic syndrome patients.
In our study thyroid disorder are common in the age group between 51 and 60 years of age of MetS patient and are very common in females MetS patients. WC between 100–109 cm are more common in MetS
patients having thyroid disorder.
Our study found that females had higher risk of thyroid disorders in MetS patients. More over aging and increase in waist circumferences is an important risk factor for thyroid disorder in MetS patients.
