==Overview==
'''Goiter''' is defined as an enlargement of the [[thyroid gland]].


== Historical Perspective==
==Historical Perspective==
Goitre was previously common in many areas that were deficient in iodine in the [[soil]]. For example, in the English Midlands, the condition was known as '''Derbyshire Neck'''. In the United States, goitre was found in the Midwest, and Intermountain regions. The condition now is practically absent in affluent nations, where [[Sodium chloride|table salt]] is [[Iodized salt|supplemented with iodine]]. However, it is still prevalent in India,<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/16/health/16iodine.html "In Raising the World’s I.Q., the Secret’s in the Salt"], article by Donald G. McNeil, Jr., December 16, 2006, ''New York Times''</ref> Central Asia and Central Africa.
 
Some health workers fear that a resurgence of goitre might occur because of the trend to use rock salt and/or sea salt, which has not been fortified with [[iodine]].
===Discovery===
New research indicates that there may in fact be a tendency to inherit an increased vulnerability to goitre.
