Abstract

Historically, regions with low levels of iodine in soil and water have been associated with a higher prevalence of goiter. The link between iodine deficiency and goiter has led to innovative efforts to address this problem. The article discusses the history of the study of endemic goiter in the Urals, presents the results of a large complex work of goiter expeditions of 1929-1934, thanks to which numerous data were obtained that served as the basis for the organization of therapeutic and mass preventive anti-goiter measures in places where goiter is endemic.
