Correlation of hypothyroidism with age and comorbidities among women: a cross-sectional study
Publication details: New York SAGE 2024Edition: Vol.15(3), SepDescription: 336-342pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Journal of pharmacology and pharmacotherapeuticsSummary: Hypothyroidism, an endocrine disorder caused by thyroid dysfunction found to be more prevalent globally in females than in males. Young females are more prone to subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The study aimed to estimate the different types of hypothyroidism based on the clinical profile of thyroid hormone and to detect various comorbidities in correlation with age in women. In female patients with hypothyroidism, there is a significant association between age groups and the type of hypothyroidism (subclinical, clinical, overt), with younger age groups showing a higher prevalence of SCH. Additionally, comorbidities, such as polycystic ovarian disorder (PCOD), are more prevalent in hypothyroidism patients, particularly in those with SCH.| Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |
