Association between Thyroid Function and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Euthyroid Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Table 3

Correlations between thyroid index, BMI, and liver function among T2DM subjects with NAFLD.

	BMR	ALT	HOMA-IR
BMI	0.164 (0.069)	0.158 (0.083)	0.586 (<0.001)
FT3	-0.452 (<0.001)	0.221 (0.010)	0.093 (0.378)
TSH	-0.618 (<0.001)	-0.108 (0.213)	0.124 (0.159)

Correlation coefficients between variables () and their corresponding values are expressed as “ ( value).” BMI: body mass index; FT3: free triiodothyronine; TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
