Associations of Combined Exposure to Metabolic and Inflammatory Indicators with Thyroid Nodules in Adults: A Nested Case-Control Study

Figure 3

Single-exposure effects (95% confidence intervals), defined as the changes in the risk of thyroid nodules associated with a change in a particular indicator from its 25th to its 75th percentile, where all of the remaining indicators were fixed at a specific quantile (the 25th, 50th, or 75th percentile). Adjusted variables included age, gender, diabetes, and hypertension.
