The frequency and severity of the symptoms, however, varies between individuals. The disease usually presents in the fourth decade of life (Vanderpump et al , 1995) and is reported to be 8-10 times more common in women than men (Wong et al , 1995) with the prevalence in females and ...
Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the thyroid gland. It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism and occurs at all ages but especially in women of reproductive age. Graves’ hyperthyroidism is caused by autoantibodi
There is a well-documented gender disparity in papillary thyroid cancer, with a 3-fold increase in incidence in females but a lower disease-free survival and higher mortality observed in males [24,25,26]. Age is also a key prognostic indicator for more aggressive cancers, with increased ...
Among the 72 patients who were eligible for the analysis, there were 19 (26.39%) males and 53 (73.61%) females. The mean age was 41.93 ± 11.22 years old and the median follow-up time was 11.03 months (range 6–27 months). Exclusion criteria: recent infections, heart disease, ...
Females were dominant in each group, and the average age of non-autoimmune thyroid disease patients was higher than that of other groups. A TSI > 0.55 IU/L and a TRAb > 1.75 IU/L were determined to be positive according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The positive rates of...
It is more common in females with a female to male ratio of 5:1 with the majority of women affected between the ages of 20-40. Most patients with hyperthyroidism have a common constellation of symptoms which include insomnia, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, tremor, palpitations, increased ...

GD occurs four times more often in females than in males. However, the prognosis for males is typically worse. Risk factors include age greater than 50, rapid onset of symptoms under 3 months, cigarette smoking, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and peripheral vascular disease. ...
In females, the annual incidence ranges from 15 to 200 per 100,000 per year (2 ). The rates observed in males are about one tenth of those in females, and the disease is more common in iodine-sufficient regions (3 ). The hyperactivity of the thyroid gland is due to the presence of...
