Adiposity is associated with a higher number of thyroid nodules and worse FNA outcomes

Adiposity may be associated with thyroid nodularity. However, its impact on the number of nodules and the risk of malignancy is unclear. To evaluate the impact of adiposity on thyroid nodules using Body Mass Index (BMI), ultrasonographic (US) and cytological data. A retrospective cohort study of 310...

description Adiposity may be associated with thyroid nodularity. However, its impact on the number of nodules and the risk of malignancy is unclear. To evaluate the impact of adiposity on thyroid nodules using Body Mass Index (BMI), ultrasonographic (US) and cytological data. A retrospective cohort study of 310 patients with thyroid nodules was performed. Patients were categorized based on their BMI, and grayscale US data and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology results were evaluated. Patients with BMI ≥25 Kg/ m² were found to have a higher number of thyroid nodules compared to those with BMI
