Negative means those with neither TPO Ab nor TgAb.

Positive means those with TPO Ab or TgAb.

Model 1: Adjusted for sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and urinary iodine concentration.

Model 2: Adjusted for the variables in Model 1 plus PC1 and PC2.

CI: confidence interval, PC: principal component, TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone
