Initial thyroid status and cardiovascular risk factors: The EPIC‐Norfolk prospective population study

Context  Thyroid status affects several aspects of cardiovascular risk profile, including lipid levels and blood pressure. Whether thyroid status affects the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and all‐cause mortality remains controversial.
