Abstract:
ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules in Xi’an City by ultrasonography and study the correlation between thyroid nodules and the components of metabolic syndrome.Methods We recruited 4 527 subjects in this cross-sectional study and divided them into thyroid nodules (TN)group and non-thyroid nodules (NTN)group.The height,weight,blood pressure,blood sugar,lipid,and serum uric acid were measured and analyzed.The relationship between thyroid nodules and thyroid function was assessed in the subjects who received TT3,TT4,TSH,TGAB,and TPOAB tests.Results ① The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 31.8% and was significantly higher in the female patients (38.4% vs.27.1%,χ2=64.44,P<0.001).However,the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 9.1% and was significantly higher in the male ones (11.4% vs.5.9%,χ2=40.39,P<0.001).② Compared with that in NTN group,TT3 in TN group was significantly increased (t=6.04,P<0.001), but the other indexes did not obviously change in the two groups (P>0.05).③ Age,systolic blood pressure,and TG,LDL-C and serum uric acid levels were remarkably higher in TN group than in NTN group (P<0.001 ). Conclusion The prevalence of thyroid nodules in Xi’an City is noticeably high.High systolic blood pressure level, dyslipidemia and elevated uric acid are associated with thyroid nodules.Therefore,screening and management of the individuals with aforementioned characteristics deserve more attention.
