Dieses Thema ist eine Ankündigung für den folgenden Termin: World Thyroid Day – Welt Schiddrüsen Tag.
Mit einem Klick auf den Terminnamen kommst du zum Termin im entsprechenden Gruppenkalender und kannst z.B. eine ICS-Datei herunterladen.

Die Thyroid Federeation International (TFI) hat auf ihrer Mitgliederversammlung im September 2023 beschlossen, dass der Welt Schilddrüsen Tag, 25. Mai 2024, sowie die Internationale Schilddrüsen Woche, 25. bis 31. Mai 2024  die Beziehung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen und Nicht-übertragbaren Krankheiten  (Non-communicable Diseases) thematisieren wird:

Thyroid diseases are NCDs

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, tend to be of long duration and are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors.

The main types of NCD are cardiovascular diseases (such as heart attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes.

NCDs disproportionately affect people in low- and middle-income countries, where more than three quarters of global NCD deaths (31.4 million) occur.

(from website WHO.int)

Thyroid diseases are NCDs

Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism increase the risk for Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes and other diseases like Obesity, Depression and Neurodegenerative disease.

Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism have been associated with an increased risk of Prostate, Breast, and Lung Cancer.

Thyroid diseases are NCDs

Thyroid diseases are an important public health problem that is associated with an increased risk of NCDs, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arterial hypertension.

Thyroid diseases are estimated to affect 5–10% of the world’s population and go undiscovered and untreated in at least half of the patients.

Why is it important?

Many thyroid diseases share key risk factors with other NCDs; like an unhealthy lifestyle and a poor diet. This may increase the current burden of disease. The future burden of disease, both in thyroid diseases and other NCDs, is determined by current exposure and practices.

Despite this, there is no WHO policy, apart from the policy on Iodine Deficiency, to address the specific consequences of thyroid diseases and their increasing incidence. In this increasingly globalized world, expectations for better health fall far short of desirable and appropriate goals, especially in developing countries. This requires a major effort to counteract the tide of thyroid diseases and other NCDs.

The inclusion of thyroid diseases within the official classification of NCDs will significantly contribute to the overall reduction of premature death and disability from NCDs.

By controlling modifiable risk factors and, in general, promoting a healthier lifestyle, thyroid function will be enhanced while every other vital organ and bodily function (heart, circulatory system, metabolism, nervous and immune systems, etc.) will also be vastly improved.

Auch als Fördermitglied mit 5 € im Jahr hilfst Du unserem Verein sehr!!! 😆
