Correlation Between Ultrasonic Thyroid Anatomy and Parameters of Physical Development of Children During the Second Period of Childhood.

Abstract

The results of the study showed that in the examined male children, a high correlation was found between the total volume of the thyroid gland and anthropometric indicators: height (r=0.91; P≤0.05), body weight (r=0.92; P≤0 .05), body length (r=0.90; P≤0.05), A similar correlation was found in girls between the volume of the thyroid gland and, respectively: height (r=0.95; P≤0.05), body weight (r=0.96; P≤0.05), body length (r =0.92; P≤0.05).
