Thyroid Dysfunction Study at Murjan Hospital, Hilla City
No full textThyroid dysfunction (TD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder globally, posing significant public health challenges. Despite its widespread impact, there remains a gap in understanding the diverse clinical and epidemiological characteristics of TD patients, particularly in Iraqi communities. This cross-sectional study, conducted at Murjan Hospital's diabetes and endocrinology center in Hilla City, Iraq, aimed to address this gap. A sample of 348 adult patients aged 18-76 years was surveyed using a standardized questionnaire over a five-month period. Findings revealed a predominance of females (92.8%) and urban residents (72.7%), with hypothyroidism comprising 78% of cases compared to 22% for hyperthyroidism. Common symptoms included tiredness (87%) and nervousness (91%). Statistical analysis showed no significant association between TD subtypes and socio-demographic factors. These results underscore the need for tailored interventions and heightened awareness to address the burden of TD within the Iraqi population

Thyroid Function and Physical Activity among a Sample of Patients Attending Murjan Hospital in Hilla City/Iraq
No full textBackground: Physical activity can also enhance thyroid function. Exercising can be challenging when experiencing exhaustion, but it is crucial for managing hypothyroidism. Objective of study : To determine a correlation between thyroid function and physical activity, as well as anthropometric measurements Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 patients with thyroid dysfunction who were attending a diabetes and endocrinology center in AL Hilla City, Iraq . the data collection for five months from march 2023- august 2023. Results : The study shows that a higher proportion of thyroid dysfunction regarding to BMI in obese category was (32.2%) followed by overweight(29.3%),morbid obese(24.4%) and lower proportion in normal weight was (14.9%).with mean (30.92 ±5.42SD).according to waist to hip ratio ,a higher percentage(53.2%) at risk followed by (28.7%) average,(12.6%) was good and lower percentage (5.5%) of waist to hip ratio was excellent. The present study found a higher percentage (41.7%) of waist to height ratio was obese followed by(21.0%) was overweight,(19.5%) was healthy and lower percentage was (17.8%).according to physical activity ,a higher percentage (50.0%) was low level followed by (46.3%) was moderate level and (3.7%) was vigorous level. A significant association found between anthropometric measurement and thyroid dysfunction except height found no significant, also found significant connection between thyroid dysfunction and international physical activity questionnaire score, and significant connection between thyroid stimulating hormones and family history, anthropometric measurements. And also significant connection between thyroid function test and thyroid dysfunction. Conclusion: significant association between hypothyroidism and low level of physical activity , obesity and morbid obesity
