AB  - Thyroid  disorders  affect  1  in  200  adults  but  are  more  common  in  women  and  with  advancing  age.  The  incidence  of  hypothyroidism,  for  instance,  is  0.3–5  cases  per  1000  individuals  per  year,  including  7%  of  women  and  3%  of  men  aged  60–89  years.  Hypothyroidism  is  much  more  common  than  hyperthyroidism,  nodular  disease,  or  thyroid  cancer.  Thyroid  nodules  occur  in  4–8%  of  all  individuals  and,  like  other  thyroid  problems,  increase  in  incidence  with  age.
