The effect of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) in the children on serum levels of total thyroxine (TT4), total triodothyronine (TT3) and thyrotropin (TSH) were evaluated. There were 107 children aged 2 to 60 months in the malnutrition group and 54 healthy age and sex matched controls. Serum TT4 and TT3 were all reduced in the malnutrition group. This decrease in TT3 was more significant (p < 0...
