25-30 years after the 131J therapeutic dose intake the function of the thyroid gland was found to get impaired in 18% of those irradiated, with the diabetes mellitus incidence rate tending to be on the increase almost two-fold. 131J did not have apparent suppressive action on sexual glands and adrenals. In those persons having taken 131J, frequency of the thyroid gland neoplasia gets increased almost 6-fold as compared to general population.
