Overview
The incidence of goiter is approximately 1400 to 1700 per 100,000 individuals in females and 900 per 100,000 individuals in males, worldwide. The prevalence of goiter is approximately 3000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide, for single thyroid nodules. The frequency of goiter increases in women over 45 years of age. The rate of occurrence of goiter in females is higher than in males by a ratio of 4:1. There is no racial predilection to goiter.
