Data mining: Seasonal fluctuations and associations between thyroid stimulating hormone and lipid profiles.

CONCLUSION: Seasonal variation was observed in both TSH and lipids. Apart from the seasonal variation of TC and LDL-C, our results also have clinical interpretation. It suggested that it may not reflect the real status of lipids during and immediately after the Spring festival. Thus, in order to diagnostic of hypercholesterolemia, re-testing was needed later to provide the precision diagnostic, monitoring and treatment.
