Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Goiter include non-iodized salt, age and sex, drugs and radiation therapies.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of Goiter include non-iodized salt, age and sex, drugs and radiation therapies. [1] [2]
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of Goiter may be occupational, environmental, genetic, age and sex related and also dietary factors.
- Common risk factors in the development of Goiter include:
- Table Salt deficient in dietary iodine
- Individuals above the age of 40 may have a higher chance of developing goiters
- Females are more more likely to develop goiters and prone to get affected by thyroid disorders
- For reasons unclear, thyroid disorders tend to occur more during pregnancy and during menopause.
- Drugs used in the treatment of heart ailments such as amiodarone and also in psychiatric treatments such as lithium. Some other drugs include phenylbutazone, or aminoglutethimide and propylthiouracil.
- Radiation therapies focused on the neck and the chest regions
- Positive family history of goiter
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of Goiter include:
- Family history of autoimmune disorders
- Radiation leak and exposure to hazardous radiations as a result of nuclear reactor accidents
- Cigarette smoking
- Emotional stress [3]
- Infections(Rare) [3]
- Goitrogenic foods:
- Higher Risk (Higher Amounts of Goitrogens): Cabbage, Cauliflower, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Kale, Kohlrabi, Mustard and Mustard greens, Radishes, Rutabagas, Soybeans and Turnips
- Lower Risk (Smaller Amounts of Goitrogens): Fruits (Peaches, Pears, Strawberries); Nuts (Peanuts, Pine Nuts); Bamboo shoots, Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
