Abstract:

Abstract This is a cross-sectional study with a descriptive design, with two population groups before and after, type, with a quantitative approach of the analytical type with correlation between variables, carried out between 2018 and 2019. It aimed to analyze cardiometabolic, clinical and laboratory risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in women with chronic autoimmune euthyroid thyroiditis, in pre and post-menopause, followed up in a tertiary service. 109 women participated, 56 with Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis in euthyroid status and 53 with no thyroid dysfunction. Of the 56 women, 25 were included in the premenopausal Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis group and 31 were included in the postmenopausal group, and of the 53 women with normal thyroid function, 25 were included in the premenopausal comparative group and 28 in the postmenopausal comparative group. The metabolic profile suggested insulin resistance, with higher rates in the pre and post-menopausal thyroiditis group and post-menopausal control group, as well as an unfavorable lipid profile. 36% of the premenopausal affected group and 51.6% of the postmenopausal affected group had metabolic syndrome, against none and 14.3% of the comparative groups, respectively. Whether insulin resistance or obesity resulted from thyroiditis, the study did not allow us to conclude. Patients with thyroiditis should be given attention to their lipid profile.
