Change in parameters for diagnosis?
For example, with diabetes, when my grandmother was dx'd, fasting blood sugar had to be over 160 for a dx. (1940's) When I was dx'd (1991) it was 120. Now it seems to be 110. So of course many more people are going to fall into the range of diagnosis if the cutoff is 110 than if it is 160, you know?
Maybe it's the same with thyroid?
