Abstract:

Introduction: The prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in women of reproductive age in Kabul, Afghanistan, is a topic of concern due to the potential impact on maternal and fetal health. While specific data on the prevalence of these conditions in Kabul is limited, studies on goitre and iodine deficiency in Afghanistan provide some insights into the overall thyroid health of the population.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted, involving a sample of women ranging from ۱۶ to ۴۹ years old. Thyroid function tests were performed to assess the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and identify any abnormalities.Results: A total of ۳۴۶ individuals were enrolled in this study. Off all ۱۰.۷% were diagnosed with hypothyroidism, indicating an underactive thyroid, while ۳.۴% exhibited hyperthyroidism, indicating an overactive thyroid.Discussion: These findings highlight the significant presence of thyroid disorders in this population and emphasize the importance of early detection and management to ensure reproductive health. Further research is warranted to explore potential risk factors and develop targeted interventions to address the burden of thyroid dysfunction in this specific population.Introduction: The prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in women of reproductive age in Kabul, Afghanistan, is a topic of concern due to the potential impact on maternal and fetal health.
