The association between free T4 quartiles and dyslipidemia and component of dyslipidemia were performed by logistic regression analysis considering confounders. Dyslipidemia was defined as hypertriglycemia (TG ≥ 150 mg/dL), high LDL-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol ≥ 130 mg/dL), and low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol ≤ 40 mg/dL for males, ≤ 50 mg/dL for females). Model 1: adjusted for age and sex; Model 2: Model 1 + body mass index; Model 3: Model 2 + smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity; Model 4: Model 3 + urine iodine, peroxidase antibody, and diabetes mellitus; Model 5: Model 4 + thyrotropin.
