Association between thyroid function and 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional study using KNHANES 2013–2014

Key Points

• To investigate the relationship between thyroid function and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with diabetes.
• Cross-sectional study design using KNHANES data from 2013-2014.
• Participants included individuals with well-controlled diabetes.
• TSH levels were measured and analyzed in relation to CVD risk.
• Higher TSH levels may indicate increased cardiovascular disease risk.
• The findings suggest monitoring TSH in diabetes patients could enhance risk assessment.
