Retrospective cohort analysis comparing changes in blood glucose level and body composition according to changes in thyroid-stimulating hormone level.

Owing to the short study period, it was not possible to prove a statistical relationship between the incidence of diabetes mellitus and TSH levels in the euthyroid state. Significant decreases in skeletal muscle mass and increases in body mass index and body fat mass according to baseline TSH levels were demonstrated. Therefore, a focus on improving physical functions, such as increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat, is required in this case.
