Farming activity and risk of treated thyroid disorders: Insights from the TRACTOR project, a nationwide cohort study

Further investigation into distinct farming activities-especially those involving cattle-is essential to pinpoint potential risk factors that could enhance thyroid disease monitoring in agriculture.PMID:38365059 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118458
