Definition

Studies mainly focused on iodine deficiency not included.

Rate (age, sex ratio)	Context (population size studied, location, date data taken, end-point measured)	Definition of end-point	Reference
21/1000 PHPT prevalence was found in women aged 55-75 years, which is equivalent to 3/1000 prevalence in the general population.	Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT)	Characterised by mild hypercalcaemia and few traditional classic (bone and kidney) manifestations.
68yrs 13.5% with abnormal TSH levels. In Jutland, it was mainly thyroid hyperfunction (9.7% had low, 3.8% had high serum TSH), In Iceland, it was impaired thyroid function (1% had low, 18% had high serum TSH).	Iceland n=100, Jutland (Denmark) n=423, abnormal thyroid function	Serum TSH level outside reference range
Overall prevalence of thyroid dysfunction has increased from 2.3% to 3.8% (1994-2001). The prevalence of ever having had hyperthyroidism increased from 0.86% to 1.26% in females and 0.17% to 0.24% in males. The standardized incidence of hyperthyroidism increased from 0.68 to 0.87 per 1000 females/year, representing a 6.3% annual increase. The prevalence of primary hypothyroidism increased from 3.12% to 5.14% in females and 0.51% to 0.88% in males. The standardized incidence of primary hypothyroidism did not change and varied between 3.90 and 4.89 per 1000 females/year. Incidence of hypothyroidism in males increased from 0.65 to 1.01 per 1000 males/year.	Tayside (Scotland), 1994-2001, thyroid dysfunction,
