Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate whether anthropometric measurements and body mass index (BMI) are associated with the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in female patients. This cross-sectional, observational, case-control study included 100 women with symptoms of CTS and electrophysiological evidence of median nerve entrapment at the level of the carpal tunnel. 100 volunteers without symptoms of CTS and with normal electrophysiological results were included in the study as a control group. The external dimensions of the extended hand were measured in both groups. Hand ratio (HR), wrist ratio (WR), BMI, and electrophysiological results were compared between the 2 groups. The mean age of patients with CTS was 45.5 ± 10.38 years, compared to 39.0 ± 9.96 years in the control group (P < .003). The BMI was higher in the CTS group (31.2 ± 4.83 kg/m²) than in the controls (25.61 ± 3.60 kg/m²; t = 8.646, P < .001). HR was lower in CTS patients (2.27 ± 0.11) compared to controls (2.50 ± 0.11; t = -13.881, P < .001), while WR was higher in the CTS group (0.74 ± 0.03 vs 0.68 ± 0.02; t = 15.905, P < .001). These findings suggest that women with CTS tend to have lower HRs, higher WRs, and increased BMI compared to healthy individuals. Logistic regression showed that age was not a predictor of CTS, BMI had borderline significance, and smaller HRs along with thicker wrists significantly increased CTS risk.

手部人体测量对女性患者腕管综合征发展的影响。
本研究旨在评估女性患者的人体测量和身体质量指数(BMI)是否与腕管综合征(CTS)的发生有关。这项横断面、观察性、病例对照研究纳入了100名有CTS症状和腕管水平正中神经卡压电生理证据的女性。100名无CTS症状且电生理结果正常的志愿者作为对照组。两组都测量了伸出的手的外部尺寸。比较两组患者手比(HR)、腕比(WR)、BMI及电生理结果。CTS患者的平均年龄为45.5±10.38岁,对照组为39.0±9.96岁(P < 0.05)
