Adjusted Estimates, 95% CIs, and p-values of TSH levels and FT4 levels in men (n=341) and women (n=334) exposed to famine in utero compared to those not exposed to famine during gestation.

| TSH | Adjusted Estimate | -0.01 | -0.06 | -0.03 | 0.01 | 0.03 | 0.05 |
| 95% CI | [-0.06, 0.04] | [-0.11, -0.02] | [-0.08, 0.03] | [-0.03, 0.05] | [-0.02, 0.07] | [-0.01, 0.10] | |
| FT4 | Adjusted Estimate | -0.03 | 0.24 | 0.25 | -0.11 | -0.19 | -0.62 |
| 95% CI | [-0.72, 0.67] | [-0.45, 0.94] | [-0.62, 1.12] | [-0.83, 0.58] | [-1.00, 0.58] | [-1.54, 0.26] | |
All significant associations (p < 0.05) are highlighted in bold. For the analysis log-transformed TSH values are used. Adjusted for smoking and socioeconomic status.
