Note: Continuous variables were presented as mean ± SEM, p-value was calculated by survey-weighted linear regression analysis. Categorical variables were presented as the percentage (95% confidence interval), p-value was calculated by survey-weighted chi-square test. NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; PIR, poverty income ratio; BMI, body mass index; UIC, urine iodine concentration; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Cr, creatinine; TC, total cholesterol; FT3, free triiodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; TT3, total triiodothyronine; TT4, total thyroxine; TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone; TG, thyroglobulin; TGAb, thyroglobulin antibodies; and TPOAb, thyroid peroxidase antibodies. Bold values signify the statistically significant variables clearly distinguishable from those that are not.
