- W170230544 abstract "This study investigated school children in the Tung-Lo Township in central Taiwan to determine the prevalence of goiters compared to other areas of Taiwan and to elucidate the possible etiology. All children attending elementary schools in Tung-Lo were examined for thyroid enlargement by neck palpation, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Thyroid antibodies and thyroid hormones were determined in children with goiters, and in normal age- and sex-matched controls. Additionally, analysis of drinking water for humic substances was done by fluorospectrophotometry. In total, 1,823 school children were examined (965 boys and 858 girls). Of these, 174 (9.5%) were found to have a goiter of grade I or above. The prevalence was higher than our recent surveys in other areas of Taiwan (2.6%-8.8%). Goiter prevalence in school children residing in hill regions (12.9%), mainly dependent on underground water for drinking, was higher than that of school children residing in plain regions (8.2%), who depend on tap water for drinking. The quality of drinking water bore a close relationship to the prevalence of goiter. From the ratio of T3/T4 in this study, and a study of urinary iodine excretion done by others, it is concluded that goiters in Tung-Lo are not related to iodine deficiency. There was no statistically significant correlation between the relative fluorescence intensity of humic substances and the prevalence of goiter. The results of this study suggest that the higher prevalence of goiter in children living in Tung-Lo, an oil-bearing area, may be related to the quality of drinking water." @default.
