ENDEMIC GOITRE IN SUDAN

The Lancet, 1969
Abstract Community surveys showed the current prevalence of large goitre in West Sudan (Darfur Province) to be 18·5%, while in the Khartoum area it is 0·6%. The serum-chemical-protein-bound-iodine ( 127 P.B.I.) concentrations ranged from 1·4 μg. to 8·0 μg. per 100 ml., low values being found in both populations.

Menarcheal Age and Endemic Goitre [PDF]

open access: possibleAsia Pacific Journal of Public Health, 1990
A total of 13, 566 school girls from 17 districts in Sri Lanka recalled their date of menarche for a study on the prevalence of goitre. Seventy-four percent (10, 036) did not have any signs of goitre, and the recalled mean age of menarche for this group was 13.6 years. This figure was significantly lower than the mean age of 13.9 years observed in the

NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND ENDEMIC GOITRE

The Lancet, 1980
Biochemical indices of thyroid function and serum-retinol levels in adult goitrous patients from an endemic area in Senegal were compared with those of non-goitrous controls from an area in which goitre was not endemic. The findings (reduced thyroid-binding proteins and reduced serum-retionol levels) could be accounted for by protein malnutrition. They

Deafness with endemic goitre

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology, 1964
1. It will appear that conductive deafness wherever present with or without goitre has a cause for it and it does not bear any direct relationship to endemic goitre. The fact that it is present in the control group indicates that slight amount of conductive hearing loss wherever present is indicative of the incidence of this type of deafness often ...

ENDEMIC GOITRE AND IODINE MALNUTRITION IN IRAQ

The Lancet, 1965
Abstract : Clinical studies of goitre in northern Iraq reveal a high prevalence of endemic goitre. Studies of urinary iodine levels in adolescent girls indicate that the main cause of the endemic is iodine malnutrition. The iodine content of water from the Tigris in the affected areas is low.
