Abstract

Purpose: to assess the state of morbidity and the dynamics of the prevalence of thyroid disease among the adult population of Ukraine during 2013–2017.

Materials and Methods. A comparative analysis of official accounting and reporting statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism named after V.P. Komissarenko of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine "The main indicators of the activity of the endocrinological service of Ukraine" was conducted.

Results. In Ukraine, the volume of thyroid pathology increased and is 46 % of the total endocrinological morbidity. The most common pathology is diffuse and nodular goiter. Their level in the western region is higher than the national average and indicators of the north-eastern regions. Incidence of hypothyroidism increased by 28.4 % for 5 years. The increase in thyrotoxicosis was 8 %, and the prevalence of thyroiditis increased by 12.7 %.

The high frequency of thyroid pathology depends on the lack of iodine in the diet of the population, the imbalance of the trace element and vitamin content in the diet due to the deterioration of the environmental situation and inadequate preventive measures.

Conclusions. The analysis is carried out the need for a differentiated approach to the diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of patients with different pathology of the thyroid gland in some regions of Ukraine.
