ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the size of thyroid of children aged 8 - 10 in Suzhou City and explore its influencing factors.Methods:
According to the requirements of the "Jiangsu Province Iodine Deficiency Disorders Monitoring Plan", a stratified multi-stage sampling method was conducted in 10 counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of Suzhou City in five directions east, west, south, north, and middle from May 2019 to July 2020. Forty children aged 8 - 10 (age balanced, half male and half female) were selected from each primary school for thyroid volume examination, height and weight measurement, and questionnaire survey. At the same time, salt samples from children's homes and random urine samples were collected for iodine content testing, and explore the influencing factors of the thyroid volume.Results:
A total of 2 046 children aged 8 - 10 were selected, including 1 038 boys and 1 008 girls. The thyroid volume of children was (3.183 ± 1.042) ml, while the total goiter rate (TGR) was 2.93% (60/2 046). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in thyroid volume among groups with different age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), presence or absence of nodules, and different dietary frequencies (eating solid snacks, iodine-rich foods, cruciferous vegetables, and meat at different frequencies, P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that thyroid volume was positively correlated with age, height, weight, BMI, body surface area (BSA), thyroid nodules, consumption of iodine-rich foods and cruciferous vegetables ( r = 0.24, 0.34, 0.32, 0.21, 0.35, 0.19, 0.05, 0.04, P < 0.05), while negatively correlated with consumption of meat ( r = - 0.04, P = 0.047). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, BSA, thyroid nodules, consumption of solid snacks and cruciferous vegetables entered the equation, with standardized partial regression coefficient values were 0.11, 0.30, 0.16, 0.05, 0.05, respectively.Conclusions:
The thyroid volume of children aged 8 - 10 in Suzhou City is not only influenced by age, but also by factors such as BSA, thyroid nodules, consumption of solid snacks, and cruciferous vegetables.
