我国对碘缺乏所致的地方性甲状腺肿的防治,自开展食盐加碘以来已取得显著成绩。对于非缺碘地区所流行的地方性甲状腺肿,除有日本北海道居民患病的报道和我国于志恒论及海滨性甲状腺肿外,尚未见碘致地方性甲状腺肿之报告。为在沿海渔民地区探讨其地方性甲状腺肿发病原因及机理,我们在黄海湾海滨山东省日照县的六个自然村,对70岁以下居民进行了调查研究。 Prevention and treatment of endemic goiter caused by iodine deficiency in our country have made remarkable achievements since the salt iodization has started. For endemic goiter prevailing in non-iodine-deficient areas, there are no reports of endemic goiter caused by iodine except for reports of the prevalence of residents in Hokkaido, Japan, and of our country, Zhushi Zhi and seashore goiter. In order to explore the causes and mechanism of endemic goiter in the coastal fishermen area, we conducted a survey on the residents under the age of 70 in six villages in the Yellow Sea Bay seaside Rizhao, Shandong Province.
