Model 1: adjusted for sex and age. Model 2: + free T3. Model 3: + BMI, smoking status, drinking status, TG, HDLc and HbA1c. 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.
