The authors tried to assess the prevalence of thyroid gland pathology in Lublin and the Lublin Region population over 35 years old. The study was performed a few years after introduction of iodine prophylaxis in Poland. In our study we still found high prevalence of goitre--about 12% in town and rural population. A very low rate of diagnosed and treated patients with clinically evident thyroid gland pathology was observed in countryside area. Our data confirm the known phenomenon of considerably higher prevalence of thyroid gland diseases in females. Decrease of prevalence of hyperthyroidism in recent years but still low prevalence of overt hypothyroidism are characteristic of a temporary period from moderate iodine deficiency to sufficient iodine intake.
作者试图评估卢布林及卢布林地区35岁以上人群甲状腺疾病的患病率。该研究在波兰引入碘预防措施几年后进行。在我们的研究中，我们仍然发现甲状腺肿的患病率很高——在城镇和农村人口中约为12%。在农村地区，临床明显的甲状腺疾病的诊断和治疗患者比例非常低。我们的数据证实了已知的女性甲状腺疾病患病率显著更高的现象。近年来甲状腺功能亢进患病率下降，但显性甲状腺功能减退患病率仍然很低，这是从中度碘缺乏到碘摄入充足的过渡阶段的特征。
