Scope
What is the prevalence of thyroid disorders in the general population?
Definition
Studies mainly focused on iodine deficiency not included.
| Rate (age, sex ratio) | Context (population size studied, location, date data taken, end-point measured) | Definition of end-point | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21/1000 PHPT prevalence was found in women aged 55-75 years, which is equivalent to 3/1000 prevalence in the general population. | Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) | Characterised by mild hypercalcaemia and few traditional classic (bone and kidney) manifestations. | [1] |
| 68yrs 13.5% with abnormal TSH levels. In Jutland, it was mainly thyroid hyperfunction (9.7% had low, 3.8% had high serum TSH), In Iceland, it was impaired thyroid function (1% had low, 18% had high serum TSH). |
Iceland n=100, Jutland (Denmark) n=423, abnormal thyroid function | Serum TSH level outside reference range | [2] |
| Overall prevalence of thyroid dysfunction has increased from 2.3% to 3.8% (1994-2001). The prevalence of ever having had hyperthyroidism increased from 0.86% to 1.26% in females and 0.17% to 0.24% in males. The standardized incidence of hyperthyroidism increased from 0.68 to 0.87 per 1000 females/year, representing a 6.3% annual increase. The prevalence of primary hypothyroidism increased from 3.12% to 5.14% in females and 0.51% to 0.88% in males. The standardized incidence of primary hypothyroidism did not change and varied between 3.90 and 4.89 per 1000 females/year. Incidence of hypothyroidism in males increased from 0.65 to 1.01 per 1000 males/year. |
