Hypothyroidism and hypothyroxinemia were not associated with hypertensive disorders. Within the normal range, the high-normal FT4 levels were associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders [OR 1.62 (95% CI 1.06\u20132.47), P = .03], which was mainly due to an increased risk of preeclampsia [OR 2.06 (95% CI 1.04\u20134.08), P = .04].
