RELATIONSHIP OF THYROID GLAND MORPHOGENESIS WITH CHILDREN'S PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS

Abstrak

The article presents the results of the study of ultrasound anatomy of the thyroid gland and indicators of physical development in the first period of childhood. The study was conducted among 3-5 year old boys. Organometric dimensions and size of the thyroid gland vary with age. The nature and strength of the direct relationship between the thyroid ultrasound indicators and the morphometric measurements of different parts of the body was determined by the correlation coefficient. Thus, the strong correct correlation coefficient between gland volume and anthropometric parameters is r =0.9.
