Age features of liver sizes of women according to ultrasound

This article discusses the linear dimensions of the liver measured by ultrasound. A great place in the work is occupied by the search for the correlation dependence of the quantitative parameters of the liver depending on age, height, body mass index in 83 healthy women of Samara aged 18 to 66 years. Patients are divided into groups according to each criterion. The study revealed the relationship between body mass index and the size of the right and left lobes of the liver. At the same time, there was a tendency to decrease the thickness of the right lobe and the cranio-caudal size of the left lobe, as well as an increase in the thickness of the left and caudate lobes with age. It was determined that in women, with an increase in body mass index, the oblique-vertical size, thickness of the right and lobe of the liver increases and the cranio-caudal size of the left lobe of the liver decreases. The dependence of the quantitative parameters of the liver on age was also determined.
