Obesity and Thyroid Functions

Abstract: ÖZETAmaç: Obezite oranları tüm dünyada artmakta ve epidemi boyutlarına ulaşmaktadır. Komplikasyonlar ve ilgili hastalıklar gözönüne alındığında önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Tiroid patolojileri de büyüyen bir endokrin problemdir ve toplumumuzda, özellikle genç kadınlardaki insidans artışı dikkat çekicidir ve sıklıkla obezite ve diğer endokrin problemler de eşlik etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, obez hastalarda tiroid fonksiyon parametrelerinin değerlendirilmesi ve aradaki ilişkinin ortaya konması amaçl… Show more

“…A relationship has also been found between a high BMI and obesity and overt and even subclinical hypothyroidism [18]. Thyroid dysfunction was frequently seen in obese patients in Alkaç et al's study, with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism being more common [19]. Significantly lower HDL values were observed in the obese group compared with the non-obese controls.…”

“…22 Some studies show that obesity is also associated with thyroid autoimmunity and that thyroid antibody titers are higher in obese individuals. 23,24 In the study by Alkaç et al, it was found that the rate of total overt hypothyroidism and SCH was 21.5% in patients with obesity. This study also showed that the presence of thyroiditis on ultrasound and the presence of thyroid autoantibodies were common in patients with obesity and euthyroidism.…”

“…This study also showed that the presence of thyroiditis on ultrasound and the presence of thyroid autoantibodies were common in patients with obesity and euthyroidism. 23 In a study involving 165 patients with obesity and 118 normal-weight controls, it was found that FT3 and FT4 levels were lower, the incidence of hypothyroidism was higher, and the number of anti-thyroid antibodies was higher in patients with obesity compared with the control group. This study also examined leptin levels and found an association between leptin and autoimmune thyroiditis.…”
