Overview
The incidence of Goiter is approximately 1400 - 1700 in females and 900 in males per 100,000 individuals worldwide. *The prevalence of Goiter is approximately 3000 for single thyroid nodules per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The frequency of Goiter increases in women over 45 years of age. The rate of occurrence of Goiter in both males and females occurs at a female-to-male ratio of 4:1. There is no racial predilection to Goiter.
