PurposeWe调查是否有任何年龄，性别和体重指数（BMI）和淋巴结形态和血管模式之间的关联在健康的年轻日本adults.MethodsThree颈部区域在100名健康受试者，19-40岁，进行了检查灰度和彩色多普勒超声。血管类型分为三组：无血管，肺门，或分散。使用线性混合效应模型确定年龄、性别或BMI与短轴直径和短轴与长轴直径比（S/L）的相关性。累积链接混合模型被用来确定年龄，性别，体重指数和血管pattern.ResultsIn的任何关联，在上颈部，在短轴直径的减少与老化（p= 0.04），并在短轴直径的增加与更大的体重指数显着相关（p< 0.001）。短轴直径的增加与女性（p= 0.02）和下颌下区域较高的BMI（p= 0.002）显著相关，而与颏下区域较高的BMI（p= 0.001）相关。在所有地区，更大的S/L与更高的BMI和女性性别显著相关。分散的血管模式往往与较低的BMI（p= 0.051）在上颈部区域，但它与较高的BMI（p= 0.01）在颏下region.ConclusionsNodal形态和血管模式可能与年龄，性别和BMI。© 2014 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.临床超声杂志43：295-301，2015
PurposeWe investigated whether there was any association between age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) and nodal morphology and vascular pattern in healthy young Japanese adults.MethodsThree neck regions in 100 healthy subjects, 19–40 years old, were examined by gray‐scale and color Doppler sonography. Vascular pattern was classified into three groups: avascular, hilar, or scattered. A linear mixed‐effect model was used to identify associations of age, sex, or BMI with the short‐axis diameter and the short‐to‐long axis diameter ratio (S/L). A cumulative link mixed model was used to identify any association between age, sex, BMI, and vascular pattern.ResultsIn the upper cervical region, a decrease in the short‐axis diameter was statistically significantly associated with aging (p= 0.04), and an increase in the short‐axis diameter was significantly associated with greater BMI (p< 0.001). An increase in short‐axis diameter was significantly associated with female sex (p= 0.02) and higher BMI (p= 0.002) in the submandibular region, whereas it was associated with higher BMI (p= 0.001) in the submental region. A greater S/L was significantly associated with higher BMI and female sex in all regions. The scattered vascular pattern tended to be associated with lower BMI (p= 0.051) in the upper cervical region, but it was significantly associated with higher BMI (p= 0.01) in the submental region.ConclusionsNodal morphology and vascular pattern may be associated with age, sex, and BMI. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.J Clin Ultrasound43:295–301, 2015
