Thyroid disorders are prevalent and their manifestations are determined by the dietary iodine availability.
Data from screening large population samples from USA and Europe.
The most common cause of thyroid disorders worldwide is iodine deficiency, leading to goitre formation and hypothyroidism. In iodine-replete areas, most persons with thyroid disorders have autoimmune disease.
Definition of thyroid disorders, selection criteria used, influence of age and sex, environmental factors and the different techniques used for assessment of thyroid function.
