Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It leads to long-term impairments in quality of life and has a 40% higher mortality rate compared with the general population. We know surprisingly little about the causes of Graves’ disease. One possible trigger is stressful life events; however, the relationship is yet to be proven. This study will assess whether stressful life events, specifically military deployment, are associated with Graves’ disease.

Graves病是甲状腺功能亢进症最常见的原因。它导致生活质量的长期损害，与普通人群相比，死亡率高出40%。我们对格雷夫斯病的病因知之甚少。一个可能的触发因素是压力性的生活事件;然而，这种关系还有待证实。这项研究将评估是否紧张的生活事件，特别是军事部署，与格雷夫斯病。
