Abstract

Background - In India around 42 million suffer from thyroid disorders, the most common cause for which is iodine deficiency disorders. Despite the coverage of National iodine deficiency diseases control programme (NIDDCP) in India, iodine deficiency is still prevalent in many parts of India. Aim To assess T3, T4 and TSH levels and prevalence of thyroid disorder in the population of Greater Noida district. Material and method- Total of 2765 patients having significant history of thyroid disorder along with altered thyroid profile (T3, T4 and TSH) were selected. T3, T4 and TSH levels were estimated by ECi immunoassay analyzer from Johnson and Johnson. On the basis of T3, T4 and TSH levels patients were classified to euthyroid, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid. Data were represented as percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviation. Result - We found that females are more susceptible to thyroid hormone disorders. Higher prevalence of hypothyroidism was seen in patients who are within the age group of 26-35 years (32%) and hyperthyroidism was in the age group of 36- 45 (7.9%). Conclusion - Our study demonstrates that hypothyroidism was high in study region with female preponderance.
