Biography

Dr. Priya K. Dhas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Vinayaka Missions Kirupananda Variyar Medical College and Hospital (VMKVMCH) in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. She has been serving in this role since 2018, contributing significantly to both academic and research activities within the institution. Her research interests primarily focus on metabolic disorders and thyroid dysfunctions. In 2021, Dr. Dhas co-authored a study titled "Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and the Pattern of Thyroid Dysfunction among North Coastal Andhra Population," which was published in the Journal of Thyroid Disorders & Therapy. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and observe the pattern of hypothyroidism in the North Coastal Andhra population, providing valuable insights into the regional health challenges. In 2022, she co-authored another significant study, "Comparison of Selenium and Deiodinase Enzyme among Healthy Controls and Hypothyroid Patients: A Pilot Study," published in the International Journal of Health Sciences. This research analyzed whether altered thyroid profiles observed in subclinical hypothyroidism were due to selenium deficiency or defects in the activity of deiodinase enzymes involved in thyroid hormone metabolism.

  Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and the Pattern of Thyroid Dysfunction among North Coastal Andhra Population
  Author(s): Barla Krishna*, Priya K.Dhas, Bettina J and N. Rama Krishna
  
  Introduction: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing worldwide with distinct evidence of high prevalence in southern countries including India. Recent evidence suggests thyroid dysfunction primarily subclinical hypothyroidism has been prevalent in the general population. Studies show both metabolic syndrome and thyroid dysfunctions are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Hence estimating the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and thyroid dysfunction in the study population may help to take preventive measures to decrease the complications of non-communicable diseases. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and to observe the pattern of hypothyroidism among the north coastal Andhra population. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 925 .. View More»
