Hypothyroidism in Switzerland
The aim of this study is to present the theme from three different but complementary perspectives. The medical perspective lays the groundwork regarding the pathophysiology, the clinical picture, and the differential diagnosis of the condition. The historical perspective presents contemporary scientific studies on conscription and published data on goiter and cretinism as endemic manifestations of hypothyroidism (since 1900), and the archaeoanthropological perspective reports one of the first documentations of the condition in an archaeological population from Switzerland (11th–15th century AD).
