CONTEXT
Hypothyroidism affects cognitive functions especially memory. However, most of the previous studies have generally evaluated older hypothyroid patients and sample size of these studies varied in terms of age range.
AIMS
To see whether hypothyroidism affects memory in young patients.
SETTINGS AND DESIGN
The sample consisted of 11 hypothyroid patients with an age of 18-49 and 8 healthy controls matched on age and education.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Verbal episodic memory was assessed using Hindi adaptation of Rey-Auditory Verbal Learning Test.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED
An independent -test was used to see the difference between mean performance of the patient group and healthy control on memory measures.
RESULTS
Results indicated nonsignificant difference between verbal episodic memory of patient group and healthy controls.
CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of these findings, it was concluded that hypothyroidism may not affect younger patients in terms of episodic verbal memory the same way as it does in the older patients.
背景
甲状腺功能减退会影响认知功能，尤其是记忆。然而，之前的大多数研究通常评估的是老年甲状腺功能减退患者，而且这些研究的样本量在年龄范围方面各不相同。
目的
观察甲状腺功能减退是否会影响年轻患者的记忆。
研究地点和设计
样本包括11名年龄在18至49岁之间的甲状腺功能减退患者以及8名在年龄和教育程度上相匹配的健康对照者。
研究对象和方法
使用印地语改编的雷伊听觉词语学习测验评估言语情景记忆。
所用统计分析方法
采用独立样本t检验来观察患者组和健康对照组在记忆测量方面的平均表现差异。
结果
结果表明患者组和健康对照组在言语情景记忆方面无显著差异。
结论
基于这些发现，得出的结论是，甲状腺功能减退可能不会像影响老年患者那样以相同方式影响年轻患者的情景言语记忆。
