Being aimed at the effectivity of iodine prophylaxis of endemic goitre the authors examined 2946 children and adolescents at the age of 6-18 years during the period from 1989 to 1995 in 6 regions of Slovakia. The thyroid glands were examined physically and ultrasonographically. The authors have found out that the occurrence rate of diffuse goitre is acceptable and it is not meeting the criteria of endemic goitre. No case of nodular goitre was revealed. Similarly to the relative frequency of diffuse goitre, neither the ultrasonographically measured volumes of thyroid glands differed among various areas. They are comparable with the volumes detected in countries with a sufficient iodine supply. The use of criteria for iodine deficiency evaluation recommended by WHO (goitre occurrence, thyroid gland volume, ioduria) leads the authors to consider the current prophylaxis of endemic goitre as being effective and successful.

为评估碘预防地方性甲状腺肿的效果，作者于1989年至1995年期间对斯洛伐克6个地区的2946名6至18岁儿童和青少年进行了检查。对甲状腺进行了体格检查和超声检查。作者发现，弥漫性甲状腺肿的发生率是可以接受的，未达到地方性甲状腺肿的标准。未发现结节性甲状腺肿病例。与弥漫性甲状腺肿的相对频率相似，不同地区超声测量的甲状腺体积也没有差异。这些体积与碘供应充足国家检测到的体积相当。使用世界卫生组织推荐的碘缺乏评估标准（甲状腺肿发生率、甲状腺体积、尿碘）使作者认为目前对地方性甲状腺肿的预防是有效且成功的。（表5，参考文献20）
