Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed data from NHANES 2007-2012 to explore how caffeine intake affects thyroid function, specifically looking at serum TSH levels, in different metabolic health groups.
  • Researchers found a nonlinear relationship: low caffeine intake (<9.97 mg/day) was linked to higher TSH levels, while moderate intake (9.97-26.497 mg/day) was associated with lower TSH levels, especially in people with metabolic disorders.
  • These results suggest that moderate caffeine consumption might influence thyroid function, particularly in individuals with metabolic issues, highlighting a complex interaction between caffeine intake and thyroid health.]

#Caffeine ☕️ intake and #thyroid function Caffeine consumption had a nonlinear relationship with serum TSH in people with #metabolic disorders, and moderate caffeine intake (9.97 ~ 264.97 mg/d) was positively associated with serum TSH.
