Why Selected this Attributes:

1 Age:
 Reason: Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, are more common in older adults. Age
can influence hormone levels and the likelihood of developing thyroid dysfunction.

2 Sex:

 Reason: Women are significantly more likely to develop hypothyroidism compared to men.
This biological predisposition makes sex a critical factor in prediction.

3 Thyroid Surgery:

 Reason: Individuals who have undergone thyroid surgery may have altered thyroid function
or reduced hormone production, making this a key predictor of hypothyroidism.

4 TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone):

 Reason: TSH is the primary hormone that regulates thyroid function. Elevated TSH levels
often indicate that the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), making it a direct indicator.

5 T3 (Triiodothyronine):

 Reason: T3 is one of the main hormones produced by the thyroid. Low T3 levels can signal
insufficient thyroid activity, providing critical insight into thyroid health.

6 TT4 (Total Thyroxine):

 Reason: TT4 measures the total amount of thyroxine in the blood. Low levels of TT4 are a
strong indicator of hypothyroidism, helping to assess overall thyroid function.

7 T4U (Thyroxine Uptake):

 Reason: This measures the capacity of the blood to bind thyroxine. It helps evaluate the
availability of thyroid hormones, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of
thyroid health.

8 FTI (Free Thyroxine Index):

 Reason: FTI is a calculated measure that considers TT4 and T4U. It provides an estimate of
the free thyroxine available to tissues, making it an important indicator of thyroid function.
