ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the adult thyroid structural abnormalities and epidemiological characteristics in different regions of Heilongjiang Province.

Methods:

From December 2017 to November 2018, 30 survey sites were selected in 13 prefecture-level cities under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province by the population probability sampling (PPS) method, and 120 local residents aged 20 to 70 who lived for more than 1 year in the local area were selected from each survey site for thyroid ultrasound examination. The occurrence of thyroid structural abnormalities in different genders, ages and regions were analyzed.

Results:

A total of 3 870 residents were investigated, including 1 248 males and 2 622 females, aged (48.3 ± 12.6) years; 2 075 urban residents and 1 795 rural residents. A total of 2 144 cases of thyroid structural abnormalities were detected, with a total detection rate of 55.40% (2 144/3 870); among them, 1 476 cases of thyroid focal nodular lesions, 359 cases of diffuse lesions, and 309 cases of diffuse lesions with focal nodules, the detection rates were 38.14%, 9.28%, and 7.98%, respectively. The detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities was 61.25% (1 606/2 622) in women and 43.11% (538/1 248) in men, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=111.899, P < 0.01). There was significant difference in the total detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities among different age groups (χ 2=185.959, P < 0.01); and with the increase of age, the total detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities showed an upward trend (χ 2trend=173.576, P < 0.01). There was significant difference in the total detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities in adults among different prefecture-level cities (χ 2=108.487, P < 0.01); but there was no significant difference in the total detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities between urban and rural (χ 2=0.103, P > 0.05).

Conclusions:

The main thyroid structural abnormalities in Heilongjiang Province are focal nodular lesions. The detection rate of women is higher than that of men, and the older the age, the higher the detection rate. There are differences in the detection rate of thyroid structural abnormalities in adults of different prefecture-level cities, but there is no significant difference between urban and rural.
