The authors have made an inquiry about school-children of two villages of Northern Appennines: Bargagli and Ottone, formerly seats of endemic goiter. The disappearance of endemic goiter in the younger generations of these villages, is in accordance with previous observations by one of the writers suggesting that sheep represent an important ecologic factor in endemic areas.
作者对亚平宁山脉北部两个村庄——巴尔加利和奥托内的学童进行了调查，这两个村庄曾是地方性甲状腺肿的发病区。这些村庄年轻一代中地方性甲状腺肿的消失，与其中一位作者之前的观察结果一致，该观察结果表明，绵羊是地方性甲状腺肿流行地区的一个重要生态因素。
