Methods: We assessed the relation of estimated nitrate levels in well water supplies with thyroid health in a estimate concentrations at study participants' residences using a standard linear mixed effects model that included Results: In women, high nitrate exposure was significantly associated with subclinical hypothyroidism (OR = 1.60; studies that incorporate individual measures of both dietary and drinking water nitrate intake. Keywords: Nitrate, Thyroid Conditions, TSH, Old Order Amish, Water pollution, Drinking water The aim of this study is to assess whether nitrate concentrations in well water are associated with levels of USGS to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of the association between nitrate exposure and thyroid health.
