Table 3 The independent association between the nutritional status of VitD and the risk for TAI development using logistic regression analyses

From: The development of thyroid autoimmunity is potentially associated with the deficiency of vitamin D3 rather than vitamin D2 in euthyroid men

  1. A binary logistic regression model was used to evaluate the odds ratios (ORs) for the development of TAI and positive expressions of TPOAb and TgAb in the euthyroid male subjects (total = 2882) under different nutritional status of VitD after adjusting for age, BMI, month and TSH. All the abbreviations were as described in Tables 1 and 2
