Objectives. To assess cardiovascular risk factors in Nepalese population with @entity1375 as compared to age and sex matched controls. Materials and Methods. A case control study was conducted among 200 subjects (100 @entity1375 and 100 euthyroid) at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal. Demographic and anthropometric variables including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were taken. Blood samples were assayed for serum free @entity1954 (fT3), free @entity1955 (fT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total @entity165 (TC), high density lipoprotein @entity165 (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein @entity165 (LDL-C), and high sensitivity @entity1851 (hs-CRP). Results. @entity1375 @entity1 had significantly higher diastolic BP, total @entity165 , LDL @entity165 , and hs-CRP than controls. The odds ratio of having @entity1007 (>200   mg/dL), low HDL @entity165 (<40   mg/dL), undesirable LDL- @entity165 (>100   mg/dL), high hs-CRP (>1 mg/L), and high diastolic BP (>80 mmHg) and being overweight (BMI >=  23   Kg/m(2)) in @entity1375 was 2.29 (95% CI; 1.2-4.38, p = 0.011), 1.73 (95% CI; 0.82-3.62, p = 0.141), 3.04 (95% CI; 1.66-5.56, p < 0.001), 2.02 (95% CI; 1.12-3.64, p = 0.018), 3.35 (95% CI; 1.72-6.55, p < 0.001), and 0.9 (95% CI; 0.48-1.67, p = 0.753), respectively, as compared to controls. Conclusion. @entity1375 @entity1 are associated with higher risk for @entity65 than euthyroid subjects.
