One thousand six hundred and four children in nine schools in five villages of Darfur Province were examined for goitre. The incidence in Kas, Tawaila and Nyala was 75, 55, 13 (girls) 46, 35 and 10 (boys) per cent). Dietary survey showed the proportion of energy derived from millet to be 73.6, 66.7 and 37.1 per cent. Factors contributing to the high incidence of goitre in the province are discussed, and include low iodine intake, high Na, K and Fe in water, low vitamin A in the diet and poor nutritional status. A goitrogenic factor present in millet may account for the differences between villages.
对达尔富尔省五个村庄九所学校的1604名儿童进行了甲状腺肿检查。卡斯、塔维拉和尼亚拉的发病率分别为75%、55%、13%（女孩）、46%、35%和10%（男孩）。饮食调查显示，来自小米的能量比例分别为73.6%、66.7%和37.1%。文中讨论了该省甲状腺肿高发的影响因素，包括碘摄入量低、水中钠、钾和铁含量高、饮食中维生素A含量低以及营养状况差。小米中存在的致甲状腺肿因子可能是造成各村差异的原因。
