A cross sectional descriptive study was designed to find out the difference in weight of the thyroid gland of Bangladeshi people in relation to age and sex. The present study was performed on 70 post mortem human thyroid gland (35 of male and 35 of female) collected from the morgue in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh by purposive sampling technique. The specimens were collected from Bangladeshi cadavers of age ranging from 10 years to 85 years. All the specimens were grouped into three categories Group A (upto 20 years), Group B (21 to 50 years) and Group C (>50 years) according to age. Dissection was performed according to standard autopsy techniques. The weight of the thyroid glands were measured and recorded. The mean weight of the thyroid gland was 6.94 ± 5.20 gm in Group A, 7.91 ± 5.89 gm in Group B and 10.42 ± 6.27 gm in Group C. The mean weight of the thyroid gland in male was 7.0 ± 5.77 gm in Group A, 9.94 ± 7.63 gm in Group B and 11.89 ± 5.73 gm in Group C and in female was 6.88 ± 4.88 gm in Group A, 5.88 ± 2.15 gm in Group B and 9.10 ± 6.74 gm in Group C. Variance analysis shows that there was no significant difference in mean weight between the Age Group A & B, B & C and C & A. There was significant difference of weight of thyroid gland between sex in age Group B but in Group A and Group C were statistically insignificant. The weight of the thyroid gland was found to increases with age. In statistical analysis, differences between age groups were analyzed by using one way ANOVA test. The present study will help to increase the information pool on the weight of thyroid gland of Bangladeshi people.
一项横断面描述性研究旨在找出孟加拉国人甲状腺重量在年龄和性别方面的差异。本研究采用目的抽样技术，对从迈门辛医学院法医学系停尸房收集的70例人体甲状腺尸检标本（35例男性和35例女性）进行。标本取自年龄在10岁至85岁之间的孟加拉国尸体。所有标本按年龄分为三类：A组（20岁及以下）、B组（21至50岁）和C组（50岁以上）。按照标准尸检技术进行解剖。测量并记录甲状腺的重量。A组甲状腺平均重量为6.94±5.20克，B组为7.91±5.89克，C组为10.42±6.27克。男性A组甲状腺平均重量为7.0±5.77克，B组为9.94±7.63克，C组为11.89±5.73克；女性A组为6.88±4.88克，B组为5.88±2.15克，C组为9.10±6.74克。方差分析表明，A组与B组、B组与C组以及C组与A组之间的平均重量无显著差异。B年龄组中甲状腺重量在性别之间存在显著差异，但A组和C组在统计学上无显著差异。发现甲状腺重量随年龄增加。在统计分析中，使用单因素方差分析测试分析年龄组之间的差异。本研究将有助于增加关于孟加拉国人甲状腺重量的信息库。
