Associations of combined exposure to selected metal mixtures with thyroid hormones in children: a cross-sectional study in China by Yuhan Cao, Shiting Xiang, Yuwei Du, Meiling Chen, Rumeng Xue, Qi Li, Jun Qiu, Yanying Duan

“…The levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (TT3, FT3) and total and free thyroxine (TT4, FT4) were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Generalized linear regression (GLR) model and Quantile-based g-computation (QGC) were employed to estimate the association between metal exposure and thyroid hormone homeostasis.ResultsGLR model showed that a unit increase in ln-transformed Fe was associated with increases in TT3 (β = 0.163; PFDR < 0.001), TT4 (β = 12.255; PFDR < 0.001) and FT3 (β = 0.615; PFDR < 0.001), as well as decreases in TSH (β = −0.471; PFDR = 0.005) and FT4 (β = −1.938; PFDR < 0.001). …”
