Key Points

Thyroid volume is significantly influenced by factors such as age and body mass index, indicating physiological variations.
The study reports an average thyroid volume of 12.5 mL in the adult population, suggesting variations depending on determinants.
Cross-sectional analysis across diverse regions in China utilized ultrasound measurements for accuracy in determining thyroid volume.
Understanding these determinants may improve clinical assessments and guide target population studies for thyroid-related conditions.
