Abstract

Micronutrients play a crucial role in several metabolic processes including thyroid hormone metabolism and functions. The current study aimed to assess the associations between thyroid hormone levels and micronutrient status in a cohort of adolescents Afghan refugees residing in a refugee camp in Pakistan. A randomised, community based, cross-sectional study design was employed to recruit 206 adolescent (both male and female) Afghan refugees aged 10-19 years. Sociodemographic data, anthropometric assessments and blood samples were collected using standard methods. Serum vitamins, minerals and thyroid hormones levels were assessed using ELISA, electrochemiluminescence and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) respectively. Overall results showed the median levels of T3 and TSH were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in younger adolescents (10-14 years) compared to 15-18 year olds while T4 was significantly higher in boys compared to girls. Correlational analysis between serum micronutrients status (vitamin D, vitamin B12, ferritin, folate, zinc, copper, selenium) and thyroid hormones revealed significant relationships in different age groups. Overall, vitamin D exhibited a statistically significant positive correlation with T4 (r = 0.279) in the combined, younger (r = 0.277) and older (r = 0.319) age groups. In contrast, a statistically significant but negative correlation was observed when zinc levels were compared with T3 (r=-0.288) in the older age group and with T4 (r=-0.195) in the younger age group. In conclusion, micronutrients status, especially vitamin D and zinc, have important implications for thyroid health and thereby require close monitoring in any thyroid deficiency related disorders in vulnerable population such as refugees.Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

摘要

微量营养素在包括甲状腺激素代谢和功能在内的多个代谢过程中发挥着关键作用。本研究旨在评估居住在巴基斯坦难民营的一群阿富汗青少年难民中甲状腺激素水平与微量营养素状况之间的关联。采用随机、基于社区的横断面研究设计,招募了206名年龄在10 - 19岁的青少年(男女皆有)阿富汗难民。使用标准方法收集社会人口学数据、人体测量评估和血液样本。分别采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)、电化学发光法和电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP - MS)评估血清维生素、矿物质和甲状腺激素水平。总体结果显示,与15 - 18岁青少年相比,10 - 14岁的青少年中三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T3)和促甲状腺激素(TSH)的中位数水平显著更高(p < 0.05),而男孩的甲状腺素(T4)水平显著高于女孩。血清微量营养素状况(维生素D、维生素B12、铁蛋白、叶酸、锌、铜、硒)与甲状腺激素之间的相关性分析显示,在不同年龄组中存在显著关系。总体而言,在合并年龄组、较年轻年龄组(r = 0.277)和较年长年龄组(r = 0.319)中,维生素D与T4呈现出统计学上显著的正相关(r = 0.279)。相比之下,在较年长年龄组中,锌水平与T3(r = -0.288)以及在较年轻年龄组中锌水平与T4(r = -0.195)之间观察到统计学上显著的负相关。总之,微量营养素状况,尤其是维生素D和锌,对甲状腺健康具有重要影响,因此在难民等弱势群体中,对于任何与甲状腺功能减退相关的疾病都需要密切监测。临床试验编号:不适用。
