Relationship of modifiable risk factors with the incidence of thyroid cancer: a worldwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers of the endocrine system. The incidence of this cancer has increased in many countries. Many cases of thyroid cancer do not have any symptoms. This cancer has different risk factors. Some of them are unchangeable and some can be changed and modified. So, it is necessary to identify these risk factors. Therefore, this global study was conducted for the first time to investigate the correlation between the age-standardized incidence rate of thyroid cancer (ASIR) and some modifiable risk factors worldwide.

Methods

The data of this global ecological research has been collected on the official website of health data ( https://www.healthdata.org/ ) for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. Pearson correlation co
