本文回顾分析了1987~1991年684例法医尸检病例的正常器官重量。所有受试者均为高加索成年人，均死于外因且无病理改变。下列器官的重量是可用的：心脏、左右肺、肝、脾、胰腺、右肾、左肾和甲状腺。统计相关的外部参数是死者的年龄、身高、体重和体重指数(BMI)。所有器官的重量都与至少一个外部参数相关，女性的甲状腺除外。除心脏和甲状腺外，器官重量随年龄增长而减少。随着身高和/或BMI的增加而增加。除心脏外，脏器重量与身高的相关性好于BMI。这些更新的器官重量表与以前研究中收集的数据进行了比较，病理学家必须定期更新这些表，以便将器官重量作为一个良好的标准用于尸检诊断。(C)2001爱思唯尔爱尔兰科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
The weights of normal organs were retrospectively culled for the years 1987-1991 from 684 forensic autopsy cases. All the subjects: were Caucasoid adults who died of external causes and showed no pathological changes. The weights of the Following organs were available: the heart, the right and the left lung, the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, the right and the left kidney and the thyroid gland. The external parameters used fur statistical correlation were the age, the height, the body weight and the body mass index (BMI) of the deceased. The weight of all the organs was shown to correlate with at least one external parameter, with the exception of thyroids in females. Organ weights decreased with age except for the heart and the thyroid. and increased in relation to body height and/or BMI. Except for the heart, the organ weight showed a better statistical correlation with the body height than the BMI. These updated tables of organ weight were compared with the data collected in previous studies, Such tables have to be regularly updated by pathologists in order to keep organ weight as a good criterion to be used in post-mortem diagnosis.
