thyroid problems

Thyroid disorders are common, affecting one in 20 people. They're especially common in women, with one in 14 women having thyroid problems at some time in their lives, especially during the 20s and 30s, and after the age of 60.

Thyroid problems can happen to anyone at any age. However, people with a family history of thyroid trouble have a higher risk. Some people born in South East Asia and the Middle East may also be more likely to have thyroid disorders because of lack of iodine in the diet in their home country.

Although using iodised salt can help prevent thyroid trouble, taking iodine tablets or kelp tablets can sometimes make these problems worse. Anyone who suspects they may have a thyroid problem MUST see their doctor.
