Potential mechanism underlying the present results.
Associations shown in red (a ~i) were observed in the present study. TPO-Ab; anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody, TSH; thyroid stimulating hormone, SCH; Subclinical hypothyroidism, ISH: Isolated systolic hypertension. IDH: Isolated diastolic hypertension. *1: Observed among participants with SCH. *2: Observed among participants without taking anti-hypertensive medication.
