Abstract Background: Thyroid disorders are among the most common endocrine problems worldwide, with increasing prevalence in India. Ayurveda associates Metabolic Dysfunctions with Agni and Ama. This study explores correlation between deranged thyroid function test and ayurvedic parameters Agni, Ama and lifestyle factors- to provide an integrative perspective on thyroid dysfunction.
Objective: To correlate deranged TFT patterns with Ayurvedic parameters including Agni and Ama, and to examine lifestyle, comorbidities, and family history as potential modifiers.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted among patients who underwent TFTs (T3, T4, TSH). Data were retrieved from hospital records, supplemented by telephonic follow-up. Participants with at least one deranged TFT parameter were included. Agni and Ama were assessed using validated scales, and associations with TFTs and lifestyle factors were analyzed using different statistical tests.
Results: Mandagni was strongly associated with elevated TSH, while Teekshnagni correlated with high T4. Patients with Mandagni demonstrated higher Ama scores and fatigue prevalence. Physical activity influenced TFT profiles — active individuals showed healthier T4 and TSH levels.
Conclusion: Ayurvedic parameters of Agni and Ama offer valuable complementary insights into thyroid dysfunction. Integrating Ayurvedic assessment with laboratory testing may enhance comprehensive diagnosis and management of thyroid disorders.
