History of endemic goiter in Croatia: from severe iodine deficiency to iodine sufficiency.

In the village of Rude near Zagreb, goiter was detected in 85% of school children with 2.3% of cretins in the village population.

EFFECT OF IODINE DEFICIENCY ON I.Q.LEVELS OF APPARENTLY NORMAL INHABITANTS OF AN ENDEMIC GOITER AREA

Endemic goiter with iodine sufficiency: a possible role for the consumption of pearl millet in the etiology of endemic goiter.

BACKGROUND Deficiencies of iodine, iron, and vitamin A are the 3 most common micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries, although control programs, when properly implemented, can be effective. OBJECTIVE We investigated these deficiencies and their possible interaction in preschool children in the southern Blue Nile area of Sudan. DESIGN Goiter, signs of vitamin A deficiency, and bio...
