ABSTRACT
In 2009,5 523 participants of She nationality living in Ningde City of Fujian province were multistage-stratified and randomly collected,and 5 080 were enrolled in analysis eventually.The TSH screening (reference range,0.3-3.0 mIU/L) revealed biochemical hyperthyroidism in 2.4％ (2.1％ of males and 2.7％ of females) and biochemical hypothyroidism in 9.7％ (7.4％ of males and 11.4％ of females) of the participants.The prevalence of positive TPOAbs was 10.8％ (7.4％ of males and 13.5％ of females).TSH values outside the normal reference range were associated with a higher prevalence of positive TPOAbs,indicating that autoimmunity seems to be an important factor in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
