Hypothyroidism in adulthood is referred to as

  1. Addison's Disease

  2. Myxedema

  3. Cushing's Syndrome

  4. Pheochromocytoma

The correct answer is: Myxedema

Hypothyroidism in adulthood is referred to as Myxedema. Myxedema is a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This leads to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin. Addison's Disease, Cushing's Syndrome, and Pheochromocytoma are not related to hypothyroidism; they are separate endocrine disorders with their own distinct characteristics and symptoms.
