Model 1 includes FT3 level only. Model 2 includes predictor in model 1, age and ethnicity. Model 3 includes predictors in model 2 and BMI. Model 4 includes predictors in model 3, FT4 and TSH.

Abbreviation: FT3=free triiodothyronine; FT4=free thyroxine; HDL-C=high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C=low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC=total cholesterol; TG=triglyceride; TSH=thyroid-stimulating hormone.
