Objective: To investigate and study the prevalence of thyroid nodules among young and middle-aged healthy people in Hangzhou and analyze the influencing factors. Methods: The physical examination data of young and middle-aged healthy people in Hangzhou from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 1920 cases were included in this study, excluding those with incomplete physical examination information and dissatisfied ultrasound imaging. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect demographic characteristics and lifestyle data of physical examination population. Calculate the detection rate of thyroid nodules in healthy people in Hangzhou, and analyze the influencing factors of thyroid nodules. Results: A total of 632 thyroid nodules (32.92% ) were detected in 1920 young and middle-aged healthy people in Hangzhou. Univariate analysis of the influencing factors of thyroid nodules found that there were significant differences between the thyroid nodules group and the non thyroid nodules group in gender, marital status, eating habits, sports activities, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep quality, body mass index, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and other aspects (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, marital status, eating habits, sports activities, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep quality, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were independent influencing factors of thyroid nodule (P<0.05). Conclusion: The detection rate of thyroid nodules in young and middle-aged healthy people in Hangzhou is high. We should strengthen screening, improve health literacy, change lifestyle, and reduce the incidence rate of thyroid nodules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
