Abstract

Introduction: Studies have noted a correlation between the concentrations of TSH and FT4 with the concentrations of metabolites. However, there is still no survey on the Vietnamese population about this correlation. The results of this survey will provide information for doctors to predict patient examination and treatment results. Objectives: To analyze the correlation between TSH and FT4 concentrations with fasting blood glucose, Cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and Triglyceride concentrations in people coming for health check-ups at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. HCM from January 2021 to December 2021. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 342 adults aged 18 and above who underwent health check-ups at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City. Quantitative measurements of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides were performed. Data on age and gender were also collected. The results were stored and analyzed using STATA software. Results are considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. Results: The study showed statistically significant differences in FT4 concentrations between men and women and among age groups. FT4 showed a positive correlation with glucose and a weak negative correlation with LDL-C, triglycerides, TSH had a weak positive correlation with LDL-C and triglycerides. The study did not record a correlation between HDL-C and FT4 or TSH. Conclusion: Monitoring thyroid hormone levels can help screen and diagnose metabolic syndrome and related diseases.
