Abstract
Age is one of the most significant risk factors for the development of thyroid disease (thyroid gland). So, autoimmune thyroiditis is much more common in women over 60 years of age compared with young people. The prevalence of the disease in the elderly reaches 6-11% compared with 0.1-1.2% at a young age. Among patients with thyrotoxicosis syndrome, persons over 65 years of age account for 15%. Screening of a “healthy” population over the age of 60 years, conducted as part of the Framingham study, revealed the presence of thyrotoxicosis syndrome in 2.3% of men and 5.9% of women.
