Abstract
This descriptive correlational study examined TSH levels and LDL cholesterol in 60 hypothyroidism patients at BMIMS Pawapuri Nalanda, Bihar, from November 2023 to May 2024. A substantial positive connection (r=0.401, p<0.01) was found between raised TSH levels and increased LDL cholesterol, indicating thyroid dysfunction affects lipid metabolism. Multiple regression study confirmed this link, controlling for age, sex, and BMI. These findings emphasise the necessity of cholesterol management in hypothyroid patients to reduce cardiovascular risks. To prevent cardiovascular complications, the study recommends monthly lipid testing in hypothyroidism treatment. These findings should be confirmed and expanded by larger, longer-term study.
