Thyropro 39 scale is widely used to assess quality of life in hypothyroid patients treated with Ayurvedic system of medicine. Dosha assessment is fundamental to Ayurveda at all stages of treatment. Research is conducted to detect the distribution of Dosha oriented features in a QoL study using Thyropro 39 scale. This hospital based cross sectional study was conducted between June 2021 to June 2022, where 47 (50%) of 94 patients recruited were on regular Levothyroxine supplement. The participants were interviewed and the distribution of features collected in various domains of Thyropro 39 was analysed for Dosha related features. The results showed predominantly the features of Vata dosha in both intensity and distribution, while the features of both Pitta and Kapha doshas were not noticable with the Thyropro39 scale. Domain of symptoms, related to functions of different units of Vata like Udana, Prana, Vyana and Samaana and to the functions of Pachaka, Alochaka & Bhrajaka pitta had affected 3.19% of the group, in quiet a bit intensity.
