Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules in women participating in physical examination in Beijing and analyze the influencing factors. Methods The data of physical examination (height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc.) and questionnaire survey (activity intensity, eating habits, etc.) of women in Beijing in 2016 were collected, and the influencing factors of thyroid nodules were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 4 732 women were included in this study. The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 49.6%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with women aged 18-29 years, OR value was 1.769 (95% CI =1.489 ~ 2.102) for women aged 30 ~ 59 years, and OR value was 4.716 (95% CI = 3.577- 6.216) for women aged 60 years and over. Compared with the balanced diet, the OR value was1.237（95%CI=1.056-1.450）for vegetarian diet. Compared with the normal weight, the OR value was 1.331（95%CI=1.153-1.537）for the overweight. Compared with the healthy women, the OR value was 1.405 （95%CI=1.146-1.723）for hypertension, the OR value was 1.184（95%CI=1.040-1.347）for hyperlipidemia, and the OR value was 1.779（95%CI=1.178-2.687）for diabetes, while the OR value was 1.183（95%CI=1.018-1.376）for women with mammary gland nodules, and the OR value was 1.376（95%CI=1.201-1.575）for women with uterine leiomyoma. Compared with the education degree of high school, technical secondary school, technical school and below, the OR value was 0.648（95%CI=0.522-0.806）for college or undergraduate, and the OR value was 0.564（95%CI=0.440-0.723）for graduate students and above. Conclusion The prevalence of thyroid nodules in women in Beijing is at a high level. Age, vegetarian diet, overweight, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, mammary gland nodules and uterine leiomyoma are risk factors for thyroid nodules. Education level is a protective factor for the prevalence of thyroid nodules.
