Study of a large and representative series of thyrotoxic patients showed a higher frequency of diagnosis in the spring and summer. The median interval between onset and diagnosis was 12 weeks, indicating a peak in onset of the disease from January to June. The seasonality of thyrotoxicosis may be related to seasonal variations in iodine intake.
对大量具有代表性的甲状腺毒症患者系列研究表明,春季和夏季的诊断频率更高。发病至诊断的中位间隔时间为12周,表明该疾病在1月至6月发病达到高峰。甲状腺毒症的季节性可能与碘摄入量的季节性变化有关。
