Although similar patterns were identified in men and women when we did multivariate logistic regression analysis using the same adjusting for confounder except for sex, the ORs of impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones were significantly higher in women than men in individuals with vitamin D deficiency ([TFQI: 2.84 vs. 1.25; PTFQI: 2.92 vs. 1.25; TSHI: 2.86 vs. 1.24; TT4RI: 2.40 vs. 1.18; and all p for interaction < 0.001) (Table 4). Here, TG is linked to vitamin D deficiency.
