The Prevalence of Endemic Goiter, The Effect of Iodine Deficiency on The Human Body and The Prevention of Iodine Deficiency Conditions
Keywords:
Endemic goiter, Prevalence, Early detection, Care, Epidemiological monitoring, Prevention, Healthcare system.Abstract
The identification and care of endemic goiter, as well as the prevention of iodine deficiency-related diseases, have been widely studied on an international scale. Foreign researchers have developed several new methodologies and preventive strategies to enhance the effectiveness of healthcare systems in addressing this issue.
