Abstract
612 children between the age of 6–16 years were examined for the presence of goitre. Prevalence of goitre was found to be higher in males (73.4%) than females (67.1%) but females tended to suffer from larger goitres than males. Serum PBI level in goitrous children was found to be low. A significant difference in PBI level was found in 2 and 3+stages of goitre in both the sexes. The low serum PBI level had revealed the inadequate adaptation of the population to low iodine in the region.
