Abstract
Introduction- Thyroid disorders are the second common endocrine disorders worldwide after diabetes.
These are usually associated with multiple co morbidities: Hypothyroidism is a common clinical problem
encountered in all age groups and it requires lots of work to be done to prevent its occurrence and complications. Hence, we
tried to work on these cases.We studied 334 cases of hypothyroidism in, one and a half year duration. Material and Methods-All
cases that were advised for thyroid function test were tested for thyroid function test and those with hypothyroid prole were
studied for its type and age and sex distribution. We studied 334 cases and subdivided into four categories to determine the
prevalence in various age group including 01 to 19 years, 20 to 39 years, 40 to 60 years and more than 60 years. DiscussionSubclinical hypothyroidism is the commonest type in our study. Our study showing commonest affected age group is between 20
to 39 years. We also found female predominance in thyroid hormone disorder. Subclinical hypothyroidism is most common type
of hypothyroidism, which indicates more no of individual, should be subjected for thyroid function test and must be evaluated for
thyroid hormone disorder. It also shows need of increase in awareness about health and with readily available diagnostic
facilities and fast reporting system
