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
- Common risk factors in the development of goiter may be occupational, diet related, environmental, genetic, age and sex related
- Common risk factors in the development of goiter include:
- Table salt deficient in dietary iodine.
- Individuals above the age of 40 years 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, [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.
- Higher risk (higher amounts of goitrogens):
