Endemic Goiter in East Java
Abstract
Summary
Endemic goiter is still a public health problem in East Java, as indicated by its high prevalence (25% and 97%) in school children of two villages and the widespread origin of clinical cases. The content of iodine in salt consumed in endemic areas is not sufficient to be of prophylactic value.
