Findings relating to goiter and iodine in the Ten-State Nutrition Survey

FL Trowbridge, KE Hand and MZ Nichaman

Examinations for thyroid size were carried out on 35,999 individuals in the Ten-State Nutrition Survey. Overall goiter prevalence was found to be 3.1 per cent with the higher prevalence of goiter among adolescents and adults. Females of all ages had a higher prevalence of goiter than did males. No consistent regional pattern of the occurrence of goiter was observed. Urinary iodine excretion values used to estimate iodine intake indicated very few persons with excretion values suggesting iodine deficiency. No association between goiter and low iodine excretion was observed. On the contrary, a higher prevalence of goiter was found among persons excreting high levels of iodine. There is no indication from this study of widespread, iodine-deficiency goiter.
