Study on 63 apparently overweight patients reporting medical outdoors for minor complaints were examined for presence of metabolic syndrome. Patients’ euthyroid as per hormone tests were grouped as having relatively higher and lower TSH profiles and compared for preponderance of clinical and biochemical evidences of metabolic syndrome. Further normal individuals and those diagnosed as metabolic syndrome in the study sample were compared for differences in thyroid function tests. There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest thyroid function link to metabolic syndrome, in presented limited patient sample from central India.
