Relationship Between Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Fat Percent And Serum TSH Level In Eu-Thyroid Female Subjects
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether there is an association between Body Mass Index (BMI), Body fat percent and serum Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in eu-thyroid female subjects. Methods: 103 randomly selected eu-thyroid female subjects were included in this study. Their BMI was estimated by Metric method, Body fat percent was measured by Harpenden skin fold caliper. Serum TSH was measured from fasting serum sample by Enzyme-linked-immuno-sorbant (ELISA) Assay. Results: A positive linear association was found between BMI and serum TSH level (r=0.342, p<0.002). Body fat percent of eu-thyroid female subjects also showed strong positive linear correlation with serum TSH level (r=0.628, p<0.000). . There is gradual increase in serum TSH values among three BMI groups i.e normal weight (BMI <23 kg/m2 ), over-weight (BMI 23.00-24.99 kg/m2 ), and obese (BMI >25 kg/m2 ) females. Conclusion: Serum TSH level increases with increase in fat content of the body. Obese women shows higher serum TSH level even if the upper limit of TSH is within normal limit.
