Epidemiology
Prevalance
- Toxic adenoma prevalence is inversely related to a population’s dietary iodine sufficiency.
- In women and men, the prevalence rate of toxic adenoma is 5-7% and 1-2%, respectively.
Demographics
Age
- The incidence of toxic adenoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 50 years.[1]
- Toxic adenoma is more commonly seen in 56.5% of patients over 60 years but in only 12.5% of the younger patients.
Race
There is no racial predilection to toxic adenoma.
Gender
- Similar to any thyroid disease females are more commonly affected by toxic adenoma than males.
- In women and men, the prevalence rate of palpable nodules is 5-7% and 1-2%, respectively.
- The female-to-male ratio was 14.9:1 for nontoxic AFTNs and 5.9:1 for toxic AFTN patients
