Abstract :
We read with interest the article entitled ‘Prevalence of goiter among children aged 11–16 years in Ahwaz, Iran’, which was published recently in Medical Principles and Practice. The article described the results of a well-designed cross-sectional study carried out to determine goiter prevalence in schoolchildren of Ahwaz, Iran, 7 years after the initiation of a universal salt iodization program. One of the interesting findings presented by Monajemzadeh and Moghadam in the mentioned article was the significant difference in height and weight between goitrous and nongoitrous children. Here we want to add some points about this important finding.
