“…About 41.4% of patients showed proficient adherence, understanding the potential effects of foods like cabbage, cauliflower, and soy. This aligns with other studies that indicated a considerable awareness among patients about the effects of goitrogenic foods on thyroid function [ 28 , 41 , 42 ]. In another study, a comparable proportion of individuals (91.5%) from Saudi Arabia consistently followed their prescribed treatment regimen daily [ 27 ].…”

IntroductionWorldwide, thyroid diseases are among the most prevalent endocrine disorders. According to the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MOH), many thyroid disease cases remain undiagnosed and, as a result, are not treated because the patient has no symptoms or is unaware of them. Hence, this study aims to assess the knowledge about hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism among Saudi Arabia's population. MethodologyA cross-sectional survey was conducted among Saudi adults in five randomly selected regions in Saudi Arabia from December 2022 -January 2023. An Arabic self-administered questionnaire was sent to randomly selected participants via an online link. The questionnaire was composed of four parts: Sociodemographic; knowledge related to hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism diseases and their differences; knowledge about the thyroid gland in terms of functions and causes of thyroid dysfunction. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used for data analysis. ResultsOut of 996 participants (66.2% women), 70.1% knew the function of the thyroid gland, 66.4% knew that women are more susceptible to thyroid disease, and 49.5% knew the association between thyroid dysfunction and heart disease. Female sex, higher education, and old age were associated with good knowledge, and no differences were evident regarding nationality and residence. The results showed inadequate awareness regarding thyroid diseases in Saudi Arabia, with some parts of this population being very clearly below average. ConclusionKnowledge regarding thyroid disorders was sub-optimal in Saudi Arabia; older women with higher education had the best knowledge. With even larger samples, we recommend that future studies be made to develop clear and decisive public health strategies that can be implemented at once.

Following closely behind is vitamin B12 deficiency; hypertension and high blood lipids also show notable prevalence rates, affecting 10.5-22.1% of the population. In terms of diabetes, 42.8% of the population has been diagnosed with the condition. Among those with diabetes, the majority (67.6%) have been diagnosed with the second type, while 32.4% have the first type. There is an association between diabetes and TDs, with 51.3% of participants reporting this.
