身高和体重对甲状腺体积大小的影响

Effect of Height and Weight on Thyroid Volume of Children

目的 探讨儿童身高和体重与甲状腺体积的关系。方法 随机抽取来自 1 6个县市中的 1 6所小学6 34名碘营养充足的 8～ 1 0岁儿童 ,测量身高、体重和B超检查甲状腺体积 ,以分析它们之间的关系。结果 不同年龄儿童身高、体重和甲状腺体积差别均有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,同一年龄儿童男女性别间差异无显著性 ;同一年龄或不同年龄儿童甲状腺体积随身高或体重的增加而增大。结论 身高对儿童甲状腺体积大小有重要影响 。

Objective To understand influence of height and weight on thyroid volume of children. Methods A total of 634 children aged 8～10 years (355 boys and 299 girls) with sufficient iodine supplement from 16 primary schools in 16 counties were investigated for thyroid volume with ultrasonography, height (cm) and weight (kg). Results There were significantly differences between the thyroid volume and height, weight among these children aged 8～10 years, (P<0.05 and P<0.01), but no remarkable differences between the boys and the girls at the same age were found. The taller the child was, the larger the thyroid volume was. Weight of the children had similar effect on their thyroid volume except the 8～10 years old schoolchildren. Conclusions Height had significant effect on thyroid volume of the children. However, weight only influenced thyroid volume of the schoolchildren at age 9～10. Height and weight were two important factors of influencing thyroid volume of schoolchildren.
