According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition for Asian population, BMI≥ 25kg/m2 was obese group, 23≤BMI≤ 24.9kg/m2 was overweight group, 18.5≤BMI≤ 22.9kg/m2 was normal weight group, and BMI≤ 18.5kg/m2 was low weight group. The clinicopathological factors of overweight and obese patients with PTC were analyzed.Results: A total of 164 PTC patients were included, with an average BMI of (24.44± 3.57) kg/m2. Age of overweight and obese PTC patients (Z=1.978, p=0.083); Gender of overweight and obese PTC patients (χ2 value: 11.570, p=0.004); Tumor size in overweight and obese PTC patients (Z=0.894, p=0.411); BRAF gene mutation in overweight and obese PTC patients (χ2 value: 1.452, p =0.623); Multifocal lesions were found in overweight and obese patients (χ2 value: 1.653, p =0.201). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was found in overweight and obese PTC patients (χ2 value: 1.147, p=0.298). Overweight and obese patients with PTC had lymph node metastasis (χ2 value: 1.690, p =0.251).Conclusion: Overweight and obesity in PTC patients are correlated with male, but not with age, tumor size, BRAF mutation, multifocality, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and lymph node metastasis.Keywords: papillary thyroid carcinoma, body mass index, clinicopathological factors, correlation analysis |
