means with 95% confidence intervals for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in
µIU/mL, free triiodothyronine (FT3) in pg/mL, free thyroxine (FT4) in ng/dL,
total triiodothyronine (TT3) in ng/dL, total thyroxine (TT4) in µg/mL, and thyroglobulin
(TGN) in ng/mL by gender, race, smoking status, and iodine deficiency for U.S.
reference population. Data from National Health and Nutrition Examination
