Overview

Risk factors in the development of goiter include non-iodized salt, age over 45 years, female gender, drugs and radiation therapies.

Risk Factors

Risk factors in the development of goiter include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Common Risk Factors

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of goiter include:
    • Family history of autoimmune disorders, [11]
    • Radiation leak and exposure to hazardous radiations as a result of nuclear reactor accidents, [12]
    • Cigarette smoking, [13][14]
    • Emotional stress, [15]
    • Infections (rare), [15]
    • Goitrogenic foods: [16]
      • 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.
