Internal Organ and Musculoskeletal Assessment in Hypothyroidism (HYPOMORPH) (HYPOMORPH)
Morphometric Characteristics of Internal Organs and Morphofunctional Status of the Musculoskeletal System in Patients With Hypothyroidism
HYPOMORPH is a hospital-based observational cross-sectional study designed to comprehensively characterise internal-organ morphometry and musculoskeletal status in adults with previously diagnosed hypothyroidism receiving routine medical care in Andijan, Uzbekistan.
Approximately 500 adults aged 18-59 years will be included. Participants undergo standardised clinical and anthropometric assessment, ultrasonographic examination of the liver, pancreas and both kidneys, measurement of handgrip strength, and assessment of physical performance using the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test and 4-m gait speed test. Sarcopenia risk and habitual physical activity are assessed using the SARC-F questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), respectively. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations are measured to characterise thyroid functional status at the time of assessment.
The study evaluates ultrasonographic morphometric characteristics of the liver, pancreas and kidneys and musculoskeletal functional characteristics, and investigates their associations with thyroid-related, anthropometric, clinical and laboratory variables. Multivariable regression analyses will be used to identify factors independently associated with organ-specific morphometric and functional outcomes.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Hypothyroidism is associated with systemic manifestations extending beyond the thyroid gland, including hepatic, renal, pancreatic and musculoskeletal alterations. Previous studies have predominantly evaluated individual organs, metabolic outcomes or isolated components of physical function. Concurrent standardised assessment of multiple-organ morphometry, anthropometry, muscle strength and physical performance within the same population remains limited, particularly in Central Asian populations.
HYPOMORPH is a hospital-based observational cross-sectional study conducted among adults aged 18-59 years with a previously established diagnosis of hypothyroidism who are receiving routine outpatient or inpatient care at participating healthcare institutions in Andijan, Uzbekistan.
The study uses an integrated assessment of internal-organ morphometry and musculoskeletal status. Internal-organ assessment includes standardised ultrasonographic evaluation of the liver, pancreas and both kidneys. Musculoskeletal assessment includes anthropometric measurements, handgrip strength and objective physical performance testing using the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test and 4-m gait speed test. Sarcopenia risk is assessed using the SARC-F questionnaire, and habitual physical activity is assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF).
Clinical and treatment-related characteristics, including duration of hypothyroidism and levothyroxine therapy, are recorded. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) concentrations are measured to characterise thyroid functional status at the time of assessment.
The study aims to characterise organ-specific morphometric and musculoskeletal features in adults with hypothyroidism and to investigate their relationships with thyroid-related, anthropometric, clinical and functional characteristics. Multivariable analyses will be used to evaluate factors independently associated with organ-specific morphometric and functional outcomes.

Patients With Hypothyroidism
Adults aged 18-59 years with a previously established diagnosis of hypothyroidism who are receiving routine outpatient or inpatient care at participating healthcare institutions in Andijan, Uzbekistan.
Participants undergo standardised clinical and anthropometric assessment, ultrasonographic evaluation of the liver, pancreas and both kidneys, musculoskeletal functional assessment and laboratory testing according to the study protocol.
|
Participants undergo a standardised study assessment including clinical evaluation, anthropometric measurements, ultrasonographic examination of the liver, pancreas and both kidneys, handgrip strength measurement, the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test, 4-m gait speed assessment, physical activity and sarcopenia screening, and laboratory measurement of serum TSH and FT4.
No therapeutic intervention or modification of routine clinical management is involved.

Pancreatic Ultrasonographic Morphometry
時間枠:Baseline
|
Ultrasonographic assessment of the pancreas will include anteroposterior measurements of the pancreatic head, body and tail using standardised anatomical landmarks and measurement procedures.
Measurements will be recorded in millimetres (mm).
Pancreatic echogenicity and echostructure will be recorded as complementary ultrasonographic characteristics.
|
Baseline
|
|
Renal Ultrasonographic Morphometry
時間枠:Baseline
