Risk Factors
Goiters can affect anyone. Some common risk factors for goiter include:
- A lack of dietary iodine: Epidemical data show that people living in areas lack of iodine and not getting enough iodine in the diet are at high risk of goiter.
- Female gender: Studies demonstrate that women are more likely to thyroid disorders than men.
- Age over 50 years
- Personnal or family history: A personal or family history of autoimmune disease increases your risk.
- Certain medications: Some drugs, such as immunosuppressants, antiretrovirals, amiodarone for arrhythmia and lithium for psychiatric disorders, may increase the risk of developing goitre.
- Radiation: Clinical surveys demonstrate the risk increases when patients have been treated with radiation to the neck or chest area, even when they have been exposed to radiation in a nuclear facility, test or accident.
