  1. Model 1: adjusted for sex and age. Model 2: + free T3. Model 3: + BMI, smoking status, drinking status, TG, HDLc and HbA1c. Tertile values of TSH for men and women are <1.21 μIU/ml and <1.26 μIU/ml for T1 (low), 1.21-1.89 μIU/ml and 1.26-2.08 μIU/ml for T2 (medium), and 1.90 μIU/ml ≤ and 2.09 μIU/ml ≤ for T3 (high). Case: hypertension. TSH (logarithmic values): ORs and 95% CIs for hypertension in relation to logarithmic values of TSH. ORs and 95% CIs are calculated by logistic regression models.
