Overview

Common risk factors in the development of multinodular goiter include female sex,age over 50 years,areas with decreased iodine intake,natural goitrogens,vitamin A and iron deficiency,selenium deficiency.

Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of multinodular goiter include:
    • Female sex
    • Age over 50 years
    • Smoking[1]
    • Areas with decreased iodine intake[2]
  • Natural goitrogens associated with the development of multinodular goiter include:[3]
    • Millet, soy beans, coconut, babassu contain flavonoids that impair thyroperoxidase.
    • Cassava, sweet potato, sorghum contain cyanogenic glucosides metabolized to thiocyanates that Inhibits iodine thyroidal uptake.
    • Cabbage, cauliflower, Broccoli, turnips contain glucosinolates that impair iodine thyroidal uptake.
    • Seaweed (kelp) contains excess iodine that inhibits release of thyroidal hormones.
  • Vitamin A and Iron deficiency increases TSH stimulation and reduces heme-dependent thyroperoxidase thyroidal activity.
  • Selenium deficiency accumulates peroxidase and causes deiodinase deficiency resulting in impaired thyroid hormone synthesis.
