Abstract

|
|
Background : The prevalence of thyroid nodules and colonic polyps is high among the adult population, and obesity has been recognized as one of the causes behind this. This study was designed to identify a correlation between the incidence rate of colonic polyps and thyroid nodules based on body mass index.
Methods : This study investigated 543 adult participants who underwent colonoscopy and thyroid ultrasonography at a single general hospital between January and December 2013. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between thyroid nodules and colonic polyps among three groups that were divided based on body mass index.
Results : There was no significant correlation between the incidence rates of colonic polyps and thyroid nodules among the group with a body mass index ≤22.9 kg/m2 or the group with a body mass index between 23-24.9 kg/m2, as opposed the significant correlation found between the incidence rates of colonic polyps and thyroid nodules in the group with a body mass index ≥25.0 kg/m2, demonstrating a significant association between the incidence rates of thyroid nodules and colonic polyps in patients with obesity.
Conclusion : The incidence rate of colonic polyps was associated with a higher incidence of thyroid nodules in participants with a body mass index ≥25.0 kg/m2.
