Nutrition Status	Subclinical Hypothyroidism		p
Nutrition Status	Yes (n = 27)	No (n = 260) ^b	p
Length/height-for-age, z-score	−2.2 ± 1.0	−1.6 ± 1.1	0.004
Weight-for-age, z-score	−1.4 ± 0.8	−0.9 ± 1.0	0.012
Weight-for-length/height, z-score	−0.3 ± 0.8	−0.1 ± 1.0	0.349

^a Values are presented as mean ± SD. Differences are tested by independent sample t-tests. Associations between HAZ, WAZ and TSH levels remained significant when adjusted for breastfeeding status in multiple regression analyses; ^b Two children with hyperthyroidism were excluded from the analyses.
