Thyroid diseases detection rate in screenings of the population of the Kherson region

Abstract

In many regions of the world, regardless of the presence of iodine endemic, a steady increase in thyroid pathology has been recorded over the past three decades. Given the unfavorable environmental situation that is typical for most countries today, one can think that this trend will continue and problems of the state of the thyroid gland will take place among the most relevant and significant in modern clinical medicine.

A natural consequence of this is the growing interest of scientists and practitioners of endocrinologists in the issues of early diagnosis and monitoring, the etiology and epidemiology of thyroid diseases.

In this study, we assessed the state of the thyroid gland with the aim of epidemiological analysis of the frequency of various forms of goiter in 5423 people living in 18 districts of Kherson region.
