Background: Thyroid hormones support endothelial repair, whereas bedtime snacking is linked to a higher risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since endothelial dysfunction is a core feature of CKD, bedtime snacking could potentially contribute to subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) by elevating the demand for endothelial repair. This study aimed to explore the association between bedtime snacking and SCH.
