【Abstract】 Objective To understand influence of height and weight on thyroid volume of children. Methods A total of 634 children aged 8～10 years (355 boys and 299 girls) with sufficient iodine supplement from 16 primary schools in 16 counties were investigated for thyroid volume with ultrasonography, height (cm) and weight (kg). Results There were significantly differences between the thyroid volume and height, weight among these children aged 8～10 years, (P<0.05 and P<0.01), but no remarkable differences between the boys and the girls at the same age were found. The taller the child was, the larger the thyroid volume was. Weight of the children had similar effect on their thyroid volume except the 8～10 years old schoolchildren. Conclusions Height had significant effect on thyroid volume of the children. However, weight only influenced thyroid volume of the schoolchildren at age 9～10. Height and weight were two important factors of influencing thyroid volume of schoolchildren.更多还原
