Abstract

AIM

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of thyroid enlargement by ultrasonic volume measurements.

RESULTS

1336 adults living in the iodine-deficient area of Aachen, West Germany (760 females, 576 males, mean age: 54.05 +/- 16.09 years) were included in the investigation. The ultrasonic examination was carried out in patients who did not suffer from thyroid disease at the time of study.

RESULTS

The thyroid volume was age-dependent and varied from 13.3 +/- 10.4 ml in patients < 21 years to 29.9 +/- 24.3 ml in patients > 70 years. The prevalence of thyroid enlargement ranged from 14.3% in young people to 51.3% in the elderly. There was no difference in the volumes of the left and right thyroid lobe. The prevalence of thyroid enlargement was higher in females compared to males (p < 0.05). Retrosternal thyroid mass was detected in 25% of all patients > 70 years.

CONCLUSION

There is evidence of a high prevalence of thyroid enlargement in iodine-deficient areas.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在通过超声测量体积来评估甲状腺肿大的患病率。

结果

1336名居住在西德亚琛缺碘地区的成年人（760名女性，576名男性，平均年龄：54.05±16.09岁）纳入了该调查。超声检查针对研究时未患甲状腺疾病的患者进行。

结果

甲状腺体积与年龄相关，<21岁患者的甲状腺体积为13.3±10.4毫升，>70岁患者的甲状腺体积为29.9±24.3毫升。甲状腺肿大的患病率从年轻人中的14.3%到老年人中的51.3%不等。左右甲状腺叶的体积无差异。女性甲状腺肿大的患病率高于男性（p<0.05）。在所有>70岁的患者中，25%检测到胸骨后甲状腺肿块。
