In a series of 4,366 patients screened at Ludhiana, Punjab, the incidence of hypothyroidism was of the order of about 20 per cent and of hyperthyroidism about 15 per cent in both sexes. The female-to-male ratio was a little over 3:1. These statistics conform broadly to conventional Western figures. The relevance of the thyroid function tests in detecting subclinical thyroid disorders in relation to other systems cannot be overemphasised.
在旁遮普邦卢迪亚纳筛查的4366名患者中，甲状腺功能减退症的发病率约为20%，甲状腺功能亢进症的发病率在男女中均约为15%。女性与男性的比例略高于3:1。这些统计数据大致符合西方传统数据。甲状腺功能测试在检测亚临床甲状腺疾病与其他系统关系方面的相关性再怎么强调也不为过。
