In the published article, there was an error in Table 2 as published. In the column ≤45 years (n = 25,159), the percentage of “Tingling or burning sensation” and “weight gain” were displayed as “4.5%”. The correct percentage is “45%”. In the column of Men (n = 3868), the percentage of “Constipation” was displayed as “3.4%” and the correct percentage is “34%”. The corrected Table 2 and its caption Comparison of the prevalence of symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism according to sex and age group in the study participants appear below.
