[Correlation of thyroid status with indices of lipid metabolism and the level of psycho-physiologic development of children with latent hypothyrosis].
Clinic and physiologic examination of 35 children with latent hypothyrosis has been carried out. It has been established that in children with early stages of thyroid hypofunction a mental development is altered (intellect is decreasing) and psycho-motor reactions suffer (resistance, intensity of attention, speed of sensorimotor reactions are altered). Following progression of pathology, the indexes of lipid metabolism change (content of cholesterol is increasing, level of beta-lipoproteins is decreasing in blood serum). Pointed above violations in scholars have reversible character and under good correction by potassium iodide (iodide-100 drug). Correlation link between the level of thyroid hormones and indexes of lipid metabolism has been discovered. As a result of multiple correlation-regression analysis a mathematic model is proposed that gives possibility to predict the presence of hypotyroxinemia and iodine deficiency at decreasing of intellectual quotient.
