چکیده
Methods: The authors examined 3712 women randomly selected from the general population. Serum was analysed for thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) and thyroglobulin antibodies (Tg-Ab) using assays based on a RIA technique. Data were analysed in logistic regression models to adjust for possible confounders. Women previously treated for thyroid disease or with a pregnancy within one year prior to the study were excluded from the analyses.
