  • This study investigated whether high-normal thyrotropin (TSH) levels are associated with metabolic syndrome in euthyroid Chinese people≥40 years old. Clinical and metabolic factors were assessed in 2,356 subjects (40–77 years old) with TSH levels in the normal range (0.35–5.00 mU/L). Using 2.50 mU/L as the cut-off point of TSH level within the normal range, we divided subjects into the high-TSH (2.50–5.00 mU/L; n = 1,064) and low-TSH (0.35–2.50 mU/L; n = 1,292) group. The results showed that the mean levels of body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were higher in the high-TSH group and TSH levels were significantly positively correlated with BMI, LDL-C, TC, and FPG. The prevalence of central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and high FPG (>5.60 mmol/L) was significantly higher in females and subjects with high-TSH levels. Metabolic syndrome was also more prevalent in the high-TSH group. People over the age of 40 years with high-normal TSH levels had a 1.2-fold increased risk of metabolic syndrome, compared with those with low-normal TSH levels, after adjusting for age and gender. In conclusion, high normal TSH is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome in people≥40 years old.
