In 1953, Dr. Felipe Rodríguez Moreno joined the Granada Research Group on Endemic Goiter, which was led by Dr. Ortiz de Landázuri. A high goiter prevalence (62% in women) was found out within the area, and that prevalence was observed to be related to the dietary habits of the time, being the most disadvantaged those who were showing a greater prevalence. A relationship between the high goiter prevalence and the family of the subjects with goiter was also found out, as they usually had a first-degree relative with affection. Iodine content of drinking water was poor throughout the area, so the prevalence was not significantly different between individuals who drank from different water sources. There were only two females with cretinism and two males affected by "idiocy", so the goiters were probably euthyroid. After introducing iodine prophylaxis with iodized salt in Güejar-Sierra, prevalence decreased from 53% to 13% between 1953 and 1958.
1953年，费利佩·罗德里格斯·莫雷诺博士加入了由奥尔蒂斯·德兰达祖里博士领导的格拉纳达地方性甲状腺肿研究小组。该地区甲状腺肿患病率很高（女性为62%），且观察到该患病率与当时的饮食习惯有关，处境最不利的人群患病率更高。还发现甲状腺肿患病率高与甲状腺肿患者的家族有关，因为他们通常有患该病的一级亲属。整个地区饮用水中的碘含量很低，因此饮用不同水源的个体之间患病率没有显著差异。只有两名女性患有呆小症，两名男性患有“白痴症”，因此这些甲状腺肿可能是甲状腺功能正常的。在塞拉的圭哈尔引入碘盐预防措施后，1953年至1958年间患病率从53%降至13%。
