Figure 1

The prevalence of anti-TPO (anti-TPO-Early, blue) and anti-Tg (anti-Tg-Early, orange) prior to the onset of subclinical/overt hypothyroidism compared to the combined control groups. Anti-TPO combined control group (blue) consists of anti-TPO-Parallel, anti-TPO-Following, and anti-TPO-None. Anti-Tg combined control group (orange) consists of anti-Tg-Parallel, anti-Tg-Following, and anti-Tg-None.
