ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT USING MORPHOMETRIC INDICATORS IN CHILDREN WITH THYROID DYSFUNCTION

Resume

This study investigated the impact of thyroid dysfunction on psychomotor development among 30 children aged 2–7 years in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Morphometric measurements, the Denver-II developmental screening test, Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices, and laboratory assessment of thyroid hormones were utilized. Findings revealed that children with thyroid dysfunction had significantly reduced anthropometric indices, delayed fine motor development, slower reaction time, impaired speech growth, and lower cognitive scores. TSH levels demonstrated a negative correlation with psychomotor performance, whereas T4 levels showed a positive association with cognitive outcomes. The study underscores the importance of early thyroid screening and continuous psychomotor monitoring in pediatric populations.

Keywords: thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism, psychomotor development, Denver-II, Raven test, morphometric indicators, TSH, T4, child development.
