Seems relevant here as well as PAS where I have just posted this:

Autoimmune disorders found to affect around one in ten people

A new population-based study of 22 million people shows that autoimmune disorders now affect about one in ten individuals. The work, published in The Lancet, also highlights important socioeconomic, seasonal, and regional differences for several autoimmune disorders and provides new clues on possible causes behind these diseases.

Unfortunately the article acts as clickbait to a Lancet article which is behind a paywall.. Again.

[TSH110]

did I read it right they say Hashimotos is become less common? Probably because UK diagnosis is so woefully inadequate and TSH of 10 is the stupid benchmark being used if they actually bother to test it in the first place.

It seems odd Graves is increasing but Hashimotos is falling, given they are probably just two sides of the same coin. I understood it was rising world wide.

So many questions which need the full article to understand - at all.
