The study included 3,928 individuals free of thyroid disease (without previous thyroid disease, no interfering medications, TSH The reference range (p2.5-97.5) for TSH was estimated as 0.6 to 4.8 µUI/mL in the underweight category (BMI Persons with morbid obesity might be inappropriately classified if the standard ranges of normality of TSH for the normal-weight population are applied to them.
