Abstract
Women with hypothyroidism are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and the consequent mortality. It is not known whether cut-off values of coronary risk factors in women with hypothyroidism are the same as healthy women. This may help to initiate interventions as early to prevent cardiovascular mortality. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the cut-off values of coronary risk factors in women with hypothyroidism. One hundred women patients with hypothyroidism were compared with 100 healthy controls. Significantly higher mean body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were observed in women with hypothyroidism than without it. All variables showed an area under curve (AUC) value of >0.6 in receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, and similar to healthy women.
