A survey of 200 individuals aged 18 to 50 from urban and rural areas revealed a significant lack of awareness regarding thyroid disorders, particularly in recognizing symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and hair loss. Only 45% understood basic thyroid gland functions, and less than 30% could identify key symptoms. The study emphasizes the need for public health initiatives to improve awareness and management of thyroid diseases, highlighting the importance of early detection and routine screenings.
