Objective: To assess whether there is an association between subclinical hypothyroidism and insulin resistance in non-diabetic patients at a private clinic in Lima. Materials and methods: An analytical observational cross-sectional study was carried out. Participants were adults who attended the endocrinology outpatient clinic of a private clinic in Lima in the years 2012 to 2018. Patients who were previously diagnosed with diabetes or thyroid diseases, who received systemic corticosteroids, who took lipid-lowering drugs, were excluded. or that they were brewing. The main variables were subclinical hypothyroidism and insulin resistance, which were worked as categorical variables. To define the subclinical hypothyroidism variable, TSH values greater than or equal to 4.5 mU / L and T4L were used in normal values, while the variable insulin resistance was defined using the HOMA-IR value greater than 2.79. Likewise, other variables such as BMI, percentage of body fat and sex were also studied. To assess the association between subclinical hypothyroidism and insulin resistance, a generalized linear model of the Poisson family with crude and adjusted robust variance was carried out. It was presented as an association measure to the prevalence ratio (PR) with its 95% confidence interval. Results: We analyzed 1389 patients, the average age was 39.56 (13.54) years (SD) and the % of men was 27.87%. The prevalence of HSC was 13.17% (n = 183) and the prevalence of IR was 40.4% in the HSC group and 46.2% in the non-HSC group. In the crude regression model, it was found that patients with HSC had a 12% lower probability of having IR in the crude analysis (PR 0.876 IC 95%: 0.727-1.055) and 7% less in the adjusted one (PR 0.927, IC 95%: 0.792-1.084); however, none obtained statistical significance. Secondarily, associations were found in IR with the IMC, percentage of body fat and male sex. Conclusions: In our study population there was no association between subclinical hypothyroidism and insulin resistance.
