The incidence of thyroid diseases is higher in women than in men (5-8:1) and significantly increases with age. Approximately as common as overt forms of thyroid disease are their subclinical forms. Thyroid disease, especially asymptomatic reduction of function for direct examination is diagnosed up to 5% of pregnant women.
