“…Also, Caroli-Bosc et al, obtained similar results that a positive statistical difference was observed between the volume of the gallbladder and the BMI (14). Our ndings revealed that males have a higher mean gallbladder volume than females, which was consistent with other similar studies (3,15). Also, there was an association between smoking and alcohol consumption with the mean gallbladder volume in the studied patients, so that smoking patients had a higher average mean gallbladder volume than non-smoking patients.…”

Background: Determining the change in the size, structure and volume of the gallbladder by Ultrasound as a diagnostic method is clinically important due to possibility of stone formation in certain diseases and physiological conditions, especially in susceptible people who have a large gallbladder volume. Therefore, this study was carried out by examining the volume of the gallbladder with ultrasound and its association with patients’ demographic data in the Guilan cohort population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study total number of 950 patients aged 35-60 years participated to determine the volume of the gallbladder by a radiologist based on the ultrasound method. Demographic data were collected by questioner according to the ultrasound was performed after fasting for at least 12 hours. Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant association between marriage and gender with the presence or absence of lesions in the studied patients (P<0.05). Also, there was a statistically significant relationship between BMI, sex, marriage, smoking, and alcohol consumption with the average volume of the gallbladder in the studied patients (P<0.05). There was no significant association between the presence or absence of a lesion and the average volume of the gallbladder in the patients (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to our results, the volume of the gallbladder is greater in obese men than in women. Also, the volume of the gallbladder increases with age, alcohol consumption, and smoking.

“… 32 Similar findings were observed in another study on healthy adults in Kano, Nigeria. 33 Then again, Adeyeku and Ukadike in Benin, Nigeria, did not show any correlation between BMI and gallbladder volume. 34 Other researchers have demonstrated greater gallbladder volumes with increased BMI.…”

Objectives: Our study sought to determine the effect of age, parity, body mass index (BMI), and previous oral contraceptive use on gallbladder volume and ejection fraction in pregnancy to enable obstetricians to identify patients at risk of gallbladder disease in pregnancy. Methods: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study involving 190 pregnant women who were evaluated within 32 and 40 weeks gestation at the Fetal Assessment Unit of the Department of Radiology, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Patients were scanned with a commercially available Siemens Ultrasound scanner using a curvilinear probe and a transducer frequency of 3.5 MHz. The fasting gallbladder volume (FGBV) and 30 minutes postprandial gallbladder volume (PGBV) were calculated using the prolate ellipsoid method. Gallbladder ejection fraction was determined using FGBV and PGBV. Each patient’s biodata, medical history, and somatometric parameters were documented. Results: A total of 190 volunteers were included in the study. BMI showed statistically significant positive, though weak correlations with FGBV (r = 0.179, p =0.015) and PGBV (r = 0.216, p =0.003). Maternal age, parity, and previous oral contraceptive use did not show any statistically significant correlation with gallbladder parameters. Conclusions: BMI showed a statistically significant but weakly positive correlation with FGBV and PGBV in pregnancy. Our study demonstrated that gallbladder volume in pregnancy might be dependent on BMI. Thus, high BMI may predispose to large gallbladder volume, increasing the risk of biliary stasis and gallstone formation in pregnancy. This is relevant for early detection and prevention of gallbladder disease and follow-up, including expectant management of subjects that may develop gallbladder disease in pregnancy.

“…After visualisation of the maximal GB longitudinal outline, the length was measured on arrested respiration (Figure 1). Subsequently, the probe was rotated through 90° to obtain the maximal width and height dimensions, with calipers crossing each other at 90° as referenced by Idris et al [22] (Figure 2). Since the shape of the GB was considered as an ellipse, the volume of the GB in cm 3 was calculated from the ellipsoid formula; thus: (17,25,26,22).…”

“…Reviewed literature showed some works on sonographic assessment of GB dimensions, including wall thickness and volume in adult Nigerian population [3,[21][22][23]. While normal ultrasound measurement of the gallbladder (GB) is well established in adults, little attention has been focused on the normal measurement of the pediatric gallbladder in spite of reported increase in incidence pediatric GB diseases.…”

Background: Abdominal ultrasound remains a vital and first choice imaging modality utilized in evaluation of gallbladder (GB) pathologies in children. With increasing report of shift in children nutritional habit and childhood obesity over the past few decades reportedly associated with increasing children and adolescents gallbladder diseases, the need to establish a sonographic normogram of GB in our locality for early detection and follow-up on children GB diseases is paramount. Objective: We aim to determine mean values for the GB size among primary school age pupils in Nigeria using ultrasonography and establish the association between GB parameters and subjects' age, sex, height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of 400 apparently healthy primary school age pupils in selected schools, who met the inclusion criteria, was carried out. Uni-dimensional measurements of the maximal GB length, width and height dimensions were obtained. The volume of the GB in cm 3 was calculated from the ellipsoid formula. The subjects' height, weight, and BMI were measured using standard anthropometric technique. Results: GB length, height, width and volume in the studied population were 54.27 ± 6.80mm (Range: 37.0-75.0mm), 21.53 ± 2.93mm (Range:14.0-31.0mm), 23.46 ± 3.11mm (Range:16.0-36.0mm), 14.92 ± 5.51cm3 (Range: 4.3-38.7cm3) respectively. Gallbladder measurements correlated strongly with age, weight, height, and BMI. There was no significant correlation between gallbladder measurements and gender. Conclusion:Our study established a mean gallbladder size among healthy primary school age pupils in Nigeria. The gallbladder significantly increased in size as age and somatometric parameters increased with no significant difference in gallbladder size in relation to gender.
