Table 5. Results of bivariate analysis assessing the correlation of TSH and free T4 levels with liver steatosis (evaluated by controlled attenuation parameter) and liver stiffness (evaluated by transient hepatic elastography).
| TSH | Free T4 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rs | P value | rs | P value | |
