ABSTRACT

Background:

There is a possible association between mild thyroid dysfunction and changes in body mass index (BMI) and lean body mass.

Aim:

To study the association between TSH and free thyroxin levels and BMI among euthyroid children with overweight or obesity. Material and

methods:

Prospective study of 49 patients (39 males) aged 7 to 16 years, consulting for overweight or obesity. Serum TSH and free thyroxine levels were measured and the BMI z score was calculated. The correlation between thyroid hormone levels and BMI was calculated. Also serum hormones were divided in terciles to look for differences in BMI.

Results:

No significant association was found between serum TSH and free thyroxin levels and BMI.

Conclusions:

In this series of pediatric patients, no association between serum thyroid hormones and BMI, was observed.
