TL;DR: In the present survey of an iodine-deficient community, a progressive increase with age of goiter prevalence, thyroid nodularity, and functional autonomy was observed, twice as high as that reported in iodine-sufficient areas, mainly due to an increased frequency of toxic nodular goiter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data of the present study indicate that the iodized Salt prophylaxis is able to prevent the development of goiter in children born after the implementation of iodized salt consumption and to further control thyroid enlargement in older children, but is less effective (or rapid) in reducing goiter size in children exposed to iodine deficiency in the first years of life.
