Iodine deficiency was investigated in 575 women from 12 villages of Pupaman, Si Chomphu and Amphoe Chum Phae in Khon Kaen province in a project survey under Thai-German cooperation entitled "Promotion of Health and Nutrition Status of Rural Women in Northeast Thailand". The prevalence of goiter (grades 1A, 1B, 2 and 3) were 71.6 per cent in Pupaman, 58.4 per cent in Amphoe Si Chomphu and 35.1 per cent in Amphoe Chum Phae. However, the percentage of urine iodine deficiency of the women from these districts, is reversely with the palpation grading of thyroid gland. The high prevalence of goiter in Pupaman might occur due to goitrogenic effects, although the urine iodine concentration was lower than other districts. Further study about the determination of thiocyanate should be suggested in the high prevalence of goiter.
在泰国孔敬府普帕曼、西春普和春佩县12个村庄的575名妇女中，对碘缺乏情况进行了调查。该调查是在泰国与德国合作开展的一个名为“促进泰国东北部农村妇女健康和营养状况”的项目中进行的。甲状腺肿（1A、1B、2和3级）的患病率在普帕曼为71.6%，在西春普县为58.4%，在春佩县为35.1%。然而，这些地区妇女尿碘缺乏的百分比与甲状腺触诊分级情况相反。普帕曼甲状腺肿的高患病率可能是由于致甲状腺肿作用引起的，尽管其尿碘浓度低于其他地区。对于甲状腺肿高患病率地区，建议进一步开展关于硫氰酸盐测定的研究。
