Abstract:
Hypothyroidism a pathological condition that affect whole metabolic processes of our body primarily under the influence of less supply of stimulating hormone and raw materials required for biosynthesis of T3 ( Triiodothyronine ) and T4 ( Tetraiodothyronine ). Thyroid hormones regulate the conversion of oxygen and food into energy for proper physiological activities. We thought to explore the cause of pervasive occurrence of hypothyroidism even in sub urban inhabitants in relation to food habit. The vegetarian population 181n (60.33%) were found to be affected and having high level of TSH ( mean value- 23.8 µIU/ml ) On the contrary the subjects 119n (39.66%) who were taking non vegan diets and not consuming cruciferous vegetable were reported of having less TSH (mean value- 11.7 µIU/ml ) . The upshot of this study indicated that the occurrence of hypothyroidism were predominantly more in vegetarian population as vegan diets lack vitamin D, zinc, iodine and other nutrients.
