A high normal TSH level is associated with an atherogenic lipid profile in euthyroid non-smokers with newly diagnosed asymptomatic coronary heart disease

Table 2 Multiple linear regression of TSH with lipid profiles in euthyroid non-smokers with newly diagnosed asymptomatic CHD

Data are B (unstandardized coefficients), 95% confidence interval (CI) of B, Beta (standardized coefficients) and P value for linear regression analysis of TSH, on Log transform of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
* adjusted for sex, age, history of diabetes mellitus, history of hypertension, drinking history, fasting blood glucose and uric acid.
