National trends in thyroid disease and COVID-19 pandemic-related factors, 1998–2021: A nationwide representative study in South Korea
A nationwide representative study in South Korea revealed an increasing trend in the prevalence of thyroid disease over 24 years, particularly among the older population. Despite the minimal variation during the pandemic, our findings emphasize the need for targeted thyroid disease policies and further research, especially for specific subgroups such as the older population.
