Nutrition and Endemic Goiter in Mexico
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1964A survey of goiter and nutritional status was conducted in an area near Mexico City. Prevalence of goiter was high among school children and to a lesser degree among adults. Stable iodine balance studies carried out under field conditions and iodine determinations in food and water indicated a deficient iodine intake with probable seasonal variation ...

Prevention of Endemic Goiter in Man
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1961This paper is historical in character, with interpretations and corrections, bringing the work of many scientists of this and other countries for the past 50 years into one complete whole, into an understandable bit of medical history. Endemic goiter is one of the oldest diseases known, and, in addition to the methods of treatment by the Ancient Greeks,

Management of Goiter and Thyroid Nodules in an Area of Endemic Goiter
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1987This article discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic measures we have used during the past five years to treat 861 patients from an edemic goiter area with various thyroid disorders. The similarities and differences between these patients, with nontoxic goiter, toxic goiter, and thyroid cancer, were compared with those seen in patients with thyroid ...

Endemic goiter in Calabria: Etiopathogenesis and thyroid function
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1994An endemic goiter study was carried out in a vast territory of the Calabria region, including the provinces of Catanzaro and Cosenza. About 50% of 7231 school-children, aged between 6 and 12 years, examined in 34 villages, presented a thyroid enlargement. The high prevalence of goiter seems to be related to a moderate iodine deficiency intake indicated

Thyroid autoimmunity and endemic goiter.
Endocrinologia experimentalis, 1986The goitrogenic role of autoimmune phenomena in endemic goiter is still uncertain. Scanty and discrepant results have been reported in different areas of the world. This prompted us to evaluate the prevalence of circulating thyroid antibodies in an area of northwestern Tuscany during a survey for endemic goiter.

THE MORBIDITY OF ENDEMIC GOITER
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1924This short study is an attempt to emphasize the fact that all goiters are potentially dangerous and that most of them do, in fact, eventually produce not only symptoms but also definite pathologic lesions. Our knowledge of the physiology and pathology of the thyroid gland has been increasing so rapidly that, even with many basic physiologic truths yet

Before introduction of iodine prophylaxis after the World War II it was estimated that about 2 million persons in the former state of Yugoslavia had endemic goiter with prevalence varying from 10 to 90% (1). Other 6 million people living in the endemic areas should be considered as a population at risk. There were about 20000 endemic cretins and 2–4000

In early fifties, goiter prevalence in continental Croatia varied from 46% in Zagreb to 80% in Slavonia and Lika. In the village Rude in 1949 goiter was found in 85% of schoolchildren (SC). The first law requiring the compulsory iodization of all salt for human and animal consumption, with 10 mg KI per kg of NaCl, was enacted in 1953. Ten years later a
