  • Title: [The current status of endemic goiter in Upper Adige and the necessity for iodine prophylaxis].
    Author: Platzer S.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1978 Dec 08; 69(60):4193-8. PubMed ID: 740322.
    Abstract:
    That the province of Bolzano is still endemic for goiter is shown by its low drinking water (0.75 microgram/1) and food iodine values, and the observation of goiter in 48% of its school-children, coupled with a mean urinary iodine level of 35.95 microgram/g creatinine. Prophylaxis with iodinated salt (2 g/100 Kg) is being undertaken. Legislative provisions designed to render this more effective by encouraging its diffusion are proposed.
