  1. Median and interquartile ranges (IQR) for: α-Klotho, BMI, UIC, eGFR, serum albumin, urinary albumin, FT3, FT4, TT3, TT4, TSH, Tg, TgAb and TPOAb. Percentage for: gender, race, marital status, education, household income, smoking status, diabetes and hypertension. Abbreviations: BMI: body mass index; UIC: urine iodine concentration; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; FT3: free triiodothyronine; FT4: free thyroxine; TT3: total T3; TT4: total T4; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; Tg: Thyroglobulin; TgAb: Thyroglobulin antibodies; TPOAb: Thyroid peroxidase antibodies. P value was calculated by weighted Kruskal–Wallis (KW) test (continuous variables) and weighted chi-square test (categorical variables)
