Top (1a): The figure identifies the proportion of US adults who reported filling a thyroid hormone replacement prescription in a calendar year between 1997 and 2016. Center (1b): Estimated proportion of US adults from 1997 to 1999 and 2014 to 2016 who reported thyroid hormone replacement by age and sex. Estimates were calculated using postprediction average marginal effects after performing the multivariable logistic regression described in the Methods section. Bottom (1c): Predicted proportion of population between 1997 and 2016 that reported thyroid hormone replacement by race/ethnicity, adjusted for age and sex. Error bars represent 95% CIs. Abbreviation: CI, Confidence interval.
