The results of thyroid volume estimation with the aid of ultrasound in a total of 921 boys and girls 6-16 years of age are reported. The thyroid volume was found to be increasing slowly between the age of 6 and 12 years, but somewhat more remarkable increase occurred at 13 and 14 years of age. However, in both sexes it was nearly doubled at the age of 15-16 years as compared with the values at 13-14 years irrespective of body weight. The thyroid growth rate (as calculated from the least squares analysis of the correlation between thyroid volume and body weight) in girls was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) than in boys. In spite of long-term mandatory iodine prophylaxis the average urinary excretion of iodine as estimated in 69 randomly selected subjects was 78.06 micrograms/g creatinine (geometrical mean). It may be suggested that such intake of iodine, though marginally deficient, may be satisfactory up to the age of about 12-14 years, while it appeared to be inadequate for the adolescents at the age of puberty.
报告了对921名6至16岁男孩和女孩借助超声进行甲状腺体积估计的结果。发现甲状腺体积在6至12岁之间缓慢增加，但在13岁和14岁时增加更为显著。然而，无论体重如何，在15至16岁时，两性的甲状腺体积与13至14岁时的值相比几乎增加了一倍。女孩的甲状腺生长率（根据甲状腺体积与体重之间相关性的最小二乘法分析计算）显著高于男孩（P<0.001）。尽管长期进行强制性碘预防，但在69名随机选择的受试者中估计的碘平均尿排泄量为78.06微克/克肌酐（几何平均值）。可以认为，这种碘摄入量虽然略有不足，但在大约12至14岁之前可能是足够的，而对于青春期的青少年来说似乎是不足的。
