Abstract

Anemia
and thyroid diseases are global health problems with varying prevalence in
different regions and societies of the world. Here, it was aimed to screen
Turkestanian people living in Turkey for anemia and thyroid pathologies and
point out the impact of ethnicity on disease nature.



Randomly
chosen 60 patients with Turkestan origin living in Turkey and 33 Turkish
patients as control group were included in the study. Age, gender, national
origin and co-morbidities were recorded. Anemia and thyroid disease parameters were
tested. Results were analyzed using
SPSS.



There
was no statistically significant difference for age, gender
or co-morbid
diseases between the groups.
Anemia rate was statistically significantly higher and
fT4 level and pathological USG rate were lower in
Turkestan group when
compared to control group. There was no statistically significant difference
between groups for eu/hypo/hyperthyroid states.



Ethnicity is an important variable and determinant of diseases
including anemia and thyroid pathologies.

Abstract

Anemi
ve tiroid hastalıkları dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde ve toplumlarında değişken
prevalans gösteren global sağlık sorunlarıdır. Burda; Türkiye’de yaşayan
Türkistan kökenli kişileri anemi ve tiroid patolojisi açısından taramak ve
etnisitenin hastalık doğası üzerine etkisine dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır.

Çalışmaya
Türkiye’de yaşayan ve random seçilen 60 Türkistan kökenli hasta ve kontrol
grubu olarak 33 Türk hasta alındı. Yaş, cinsiyet ve ko-morbiditeleri
kaydedildi. Anemi ve tiroid hastalık parametreleri tarandı. Sonuçlar SPSS ile
analiz edildi.

Gruplar
arasında yaş, cinsiyet ve ko-morbiditeler açısında fark yoktu. Kontrol grubuyla
karşılaştırıldığında Türkistan grubunda anemi oranı anlamlı şekilde yüksek, fT4
düzeyi ve patolojik tiroid USG oranı anlamlı şekilde düşüktü.

Etnisite anemi ve tiroid patolojileri dahil hastalıklar için
önemli bir değişken ve belirleyicidir.
