N2 - The authors regret that the abstract and keywords were inadvertently omitted from the published version of the article. The missing abstract and keywords are as follows: Abstract Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels are influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and seasonal variations. This study aimed to investigate the association between ambient temperature and TSH and FT4 levels in Korean adults with normal thyroid function. Data from 4659 euthyroid adults who participated in the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2013 to 2015 were analyzed. Meteorological data linked to the KNHAES data based on the participants' residential addresses and examination dates were used to estimate individual temperature exposure. Generalized additive models revealed a negative association between TSH and temperature, with TSH levels increasing by 4.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1%, 7.9%) at extreme cold (1st percentile temperature) and decreasing by −3.7% (95% CI –6.4%, −0.9%) at extreme heat (99th percentile temperature) compared to the 49th percentile temperature. FT4 levels showed no significant association with cold temperatures but decreased by −1.4% (95% CI –2.6%, −0.2%) at extreme heat (99th percentile temperature) compared to the 85th percentile temperature. TSH responded sensitively across the entire temperature range, whereas FT4 responded only to heat. Our study showed the physiological responses and adaptation of thyroid function to extreme temperatures, providing insights into health research in the context of a changing climate. Keywords Thyroid function, Seasonal variation, Climate change, KNHANES The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
