Abstract
Thyroid status was examined in children from two villages in central China where the iodine concentrations in drinking water were 462.5 and 54 micrograms/l. Goitres were present in 65% (n = 120) and 15.4% (n = 51), respectively. All children in both groups were clinically euthyroid and neurologically normal. Growth measurements and intellectual performance were similar in the two groups. Children from the high-iodine village had a lower mean serum triiodothyronine and higher serum free thyroxine and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations than the children from the control village. 2 cases of overt hypothyroidism were detected in the high-iodine village.Entities:
