Niedoczynnosc tarczycy, najczesciej bedaca skutkiem przewleklego autoimmunologicznego zapalenia, jest jedna z najczestszych patologii gruczolu tarczowego i dotyczy okolo 2% populacji. Niedobór hormonów tarczycy manifestuje sie zwykle zmniejszeniem napedu zyciowego, stanami depresyjnymi, pogorszeniem sprawnosci intelektualnej, nietolerancja nizszych temperatur. Patologia ta wiaze sie ze zwiekszonym ryzykiem  nadwagi lub otylosci, wtórnie do zwolnionego metabolizmu, a takze jest czynnikiem sprzyjajacym hiperlipidemii, co wiaze sie ze wzrostem ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego. Celem pracy byla ocena wystepowania nadwagi i otylosci w grupie pacjentów z niedoczynnoscia tarczycy.Material i metody. W badaniu wzielo udzial 101 pacjentów (77K, 24M, w wieku srednio 43 lat) z rozpoznana niedoczynnoscia tarczycy. W toku badan zastosowano metode sondazu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety oraz metode pomiaru parametrów antropometrycznych, w tym BMI, obwodu talii i bioder. Wyniki. Wsród badanych pacjentów nadwage (BMI 25-29,9) mialo 39,6% badanych, otylosc I stopnia (BMI 30-34,9) 26,7% pacjentów, otylosc II stopnia (BMI 35-29,9)- 10,9%. Wartosci BMI=40 cechujace otylosc III stopnia stwierdzono u 2% badanych. Srednia wartosc BMI wyniosla 28,9, przy czym pacjenci w wieku 18-25 lat istotnie czesciej cechowali sie prawidlowa masa ciala niz badani w grupie wiekowej =65 lat (p=0,0003), podobnie pacjenci wieku 26-40 lat w porównaniu z badanymi =65 lat (p=0,001).  Wnioski. Nadwaga i otylosc dotycza wiekszosci pacjentów z niedoczynnoscia tarczycy, a ryzyko to rosnie wraz z wiekiem. Wartym rozwazenia jest aktywna diagnostyka w kierunku chorób tarczycy wsród pacjentów z nadwaga i otyloscia, takze w warunkach podstawowej opieki zdrowotnej. Podjecie prób aktywnego edukowania pacjentów z juz zdiagnozowana niedoczynnoscia tarczycy z towarzyszaca nadwaga i otyloscia do zmiany zachowan behawioralnych stanowi wyraz profilaktyki chorób sercowo-naczyniowych.  Slowa kluczowe: otylosc, nadwaga, niedoczynnosc tarczycy, ryzyko sercowo-naczyniowe.     SummaryIntroduction: Hypothyroidism is usually caused by chronic autoimmune inflammation of the thyroid gland. It is one of the most common disorders of the thyroid concerning approximately 2% of the adult population. This disorder is related to higher risk of overweight and obesity due to decreased total body metabolism. Furthermore, it predisposes to dyslipidaemia thus increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients with hypothyroidism.Material and methods: 101 patients (77F, 24M, with an average age 43years) with diagnosed hypothyroidism were enrolled into the study. A method of proprietary questionnaire was used with measurement of anthropometric parameters.Results: In the examined group of patients, 39,6% were overweight (BMI 25,0-29,9), first degree obesity (BMI: 30,0-34,9) was present in 26,7%; 10,9% of the patients had 2 nd degree obesity. 2% of the examined patients had third degree obesity with BMI =40 kg/m2. Mean BMI value was 28,9, whereas patients aged 18-25 years and patients aged 26-40 years had significantly more often normal body mass than patients aged 65 years and older (p=0,0003 and p<0,0001 respectively). Conclusion: Overweight and obesity concern the majority of patients with hypothyroidism and this risk is increasing with patients’ age. Therefore, it is worth considering evaluating routinely, also in General Practitioner’s office, thyroid function particularly in patients who are overweight or obese. Recognition and treatment of hypothyroidism combined with non-pharmacological actions in overweight and obese patients will be a form of cardiovascular diseases prophylaxis. Key words: overweight, obesity, hypothyroidism, cardiovascular risk.
