BACKGROUND: @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ) is one of the most common disorders of the liver worldwide. Recently, a correlation between @entity1374 and @entity1561 has been discussed. Objective of the present study was to investigate the association between @entity1374 and @entity1560 . METHODS: Data from 2,445 subjects (51.7  % females) aged 18 to 65  years participating in a population-based cross-sectional study were assessed based on a standardized questionnaire and documentation of physical, biochemical and ultrasonographic findings. After application of exclusion criteria, a total of 1,276 subjects were included in the study collective. The influence of potential factors on the development of @entity1560 was assessed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity1560 in the study collective was 27.4  % (n   =   349). The serum @entity1955 (TT4) concentration in subjects with @entity1560 was reduced (p   =   0.0004). Adjusting for age, or BMI, there was an increased prevalence of @entity1560 in subjects with reduced TT4 concentrations (p   =   0.0143; p   =   <.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study confirm an association between both subclinical and clinical @entity1375 and @entity1560 .
