The estimated prevalence of acromegaly is 40-125 per million. The diagnosis of acromegaly is often delayed due to deficits in recognizing the signs of the disease. It is not known how many subjects with increased IGF-1 levels have acromegaly. We aimed to assess the prevalence of acromegaly in primary care by screening for elevated IGF-1 levels.
