[Hygienic assessment of the impact of environmental factors of the Primorye Territory on the incidence of thyroid diseases].
The paper gives the ecological and hygienic characteristics of the Primorye Territory. It describes bioclimatic zones and ecological tension areas. The results of studies of the prevalence of thyroid diseases (diffuse endemic goiter, multinodular endemic goiter, subclinical hypothyroidism) associated with iodine deficiency in relation to the bioclimatic zone and the ecological situation are shown. The findings permit the planning and implementation of therapeutic-and-prophylactic measures for prevention iodine deficiency among the population of the Primorye Territory.
