We investigated in this study if the upper-normal TSH level may be associated with metabolic syndrome parameters, including obesity, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia and changes in insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese children. We also investigated whether there is a relationship between BMI and these parameters. This prospective case-control study comprised 145 participants (74 females, 71 males) aged 5–18 years. Participants were divided into three groups according to their BMI z-score, as overweight, obese and control. The control group included 35 age and sex-matched healthy subjects. Thyroid stimulating hormone levels of control, overweight and obese groups were 2.14 ± 1.27, 2.97 ± 1.26 and 3.13 ± 1.11, respectively (p
