The age of patients with goiter in Weihai and their thyroid function in serum

目的探讨威海地区甲状腺结节患者的年龄分布及其血清甲状腺激素水平。方法通过整群随机抽样的方法选取了4405名威海市成年居民，记录其姓名、性别、年龄并测定血清甲状腺功能。结果随着年龄的增长，甲状腺结节的患病率升高，60岁一年龄组最高，男性和女性分别为42．00％和75．44％。40岁～组男性和女性患病率差别不大，分别为23．54％和32．11％，P：0．113，其余各个年龄段女性甲状腺结节患病率均显著高于男性．P〈0．05。甲状腺结节组血清FT3、FT4与对照组相比，差异无统计学意义（P值分别为P=0．130，P=0．279），甲状腺结节组TSH中位数与对照组相比差异也无统计学意义（P=0．586）。结论甲状腺结节的发生与年龄、性别有关，是否患有甲状腺结节对甲状腺功能影响不大。
