Abstract

AIM: The objectives of the study were to study the signs of thyroid dysfunction in students at the Karaganda Medical University.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The survey was conducted among students of the Karaganda Medical University in the amount of two hundred people. Statistical methods were used for comparison among students of different courses.

RESULTS: Among junior students, signs of thyroid dysfunction were more pronounced than among senior students. More than half of the examined students had a diagnosed thyroid pathology, which was more pronounced in students of one and two courses.

CONCLUSION: Undergraduates are more likely to exhibit signs of stress-related thyroid dysfunction.
