The authors provide complete information as far as available on the prevalence of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and iodine deficiency all over the world. Nutritional iodine is a key determinant of thyroid disease risk. Further factors influencing thyroid disease prevalence are smoking, ageing, genetic susceptibility, and endocrine disruptors. Finally, a new risk group for thyroid disease are patients treated with novel therapeutics, including immune checkpoint inhibitors. This highly interesting paper reveals geographical differences and regions where action is needed for better thyroid health of their populations.
