Background:Thyroid disorders are prevalent issues in the population. Therefore, this study was undertaken to examine the occurrence of hypothyroidism among patients who visited over the course of one year.Methods:The study encompassed the analysis of 1270 patients over the designated period. Blood samples were collected from each patient for a comprehensive assessment of their thyroid profile. Additionally, detailed demographic information for all participants was gathered, and a distinct record of the clinical profile was meticulously documented.Results:In this study, the analysis covered a cohort of 1270 patients. Among them, 140 patients (11.22 percent) were identified with hypothyroidism. The average age of patients with hypothyroidism was 51.9 years. The mean age for those with clinical hypothyroidism was 53.1 years, while for those with subclinical hypothyroidism, it was 48.2 years. Symptoms such as weight gain were observed in 64 patients, while fatigue and tremors were reported in 90 and 57 patients, respectively.Conclusion:Adults tend to experience a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism, with weight gain and fatigue emerging as the most prevalent clinical manifestations.
