Abstract
A nationwide survey of the incidence of clinical thyrotoxicosis in Iceland was made during the three‐year period 1980–1982. An annual incidence of 23.6 per 100 000 inhabitants was found, females outnumbering males by 4.2: 1; 72% of all patients were aged 20–49. Graves' disease was considered the cause in 83.3% of the patients.Keywords
