Age
Children aged 10-15 years account for greater than 2/3rd cases of thyrotoxicosis. Hence, thyroid storm is more common in adolescents though it can occur in any age group.
Gender
Hyperthyroidism is 3-5 times more common in females than males. Incidence of thyroid storm is presumed to be higher in females but no clear data is available.
