TABLE 3.

The association between TSH subgroup and prevalence of MetS by using logistic regression analysis stratified by age and burnout in (a) doctor/nurse group; (b) non‐doctor/nurse group

Subgroup	No. of MetS (%)	aOR (95% CI)	P value

High TSH (16)	3 (18.8)	1.74 (1.04‐3.22)	.04
20‐40 y and no‐burnout (n = 1155)
Normal TSH (1078)	85 (7.9)	Ref
Low TSH (8)	0 (0.0)
High TSH (69)	6 (8.7)	1.12 (0.62‐1.72)	.45
41‐73 y and burnout (n = 50)
Normal TSH (41)	13 (31.7)	Ref
Low TSH (2)	0 (0.0)
High TSH (7)	2 (28.6)	0.86 (0.13‐9.83)	.63
41‐73 y and no‐burnout (n = 591)
Normal TSH (550)	135 (24.5)	Ref
Low TSH (8)	2 (25.0)	1.04 (0.15‐3.64)	.55
High TSH (33)	6 (18.2)	0.63 (0.11‐2.77)	.19
(b)
Burnout (n = 61)
Normal TSH (55)	11 (20.0)	Ref
Low TSH (2)	0 (0)
High TSH (4)	0 (0)
No‐burnout (n = 884)
Normal TSH (825)	256 (31.0)	Ref
Low TSH (11)	3 (27.3)	0.74 (0.15‐1.97)	.19
High TSH (48)	13 (27.1)	0.72 (0.10‐1.88)	.14

Normal TSH: TSH = 0.4‐4 mU/L; low TSH: TSH < 0.4 mU/L; high TSH > 4 mU/L.
