Abstract

This study of 335 full-blood Aborigines reveals an increased prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies with age and the female sex. There is no significant difference in the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in this group and in that of Caucasians recently studied in Armidale, New South Wales. The absence of racial difference suggests that environmental factors are more important in determining the prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity in a community.
