“…This is also consistent with previous study by Ghoraishian et al reported significant correlation between TSH and T4 concentration and elevated anti-TPO antibody was demonstrated [19]. In addition, similar study done in Greece reported significant association between sub-clinical hypothyroidism and positive anti-thyroid antibodies [20,21]. These findings were compatible to the results reported by [22] who found that proportional correlation was noticed between anti-TPO and (AITD) marker particularly TSH.…”

“…5,26 This was in contrast to a large prospective study from Arizona and Utah where a prevalence of hypothyroidism was found to be 0.06% and from Croatia it was 0.09%. 27,28 Autoimmune disorders were found in 8.3% of the children in our study but in the study by Shah et al it was 18.7% 26 and by Desai et al it was 40.25%. 24 Our study showed a prevalence of euthyroid to be 58.3% which was in accordance to Shah, et al (56.25%).…”

“…Hence it is difficult to claim that radioactivity played a causative role on nodule development in our study group. On the other hand, in different studies, thyroid nodule prevalence was found to be between 0.055% and 1.8% in school-age children (34,35). These prevalences were much lower compared with our results.…”

Objective: The Chernobyl accident caused widespread effects across Europe and huge areas were radiocontaminated. The major impact of the accident on human health was a sharp increase in childhood thyroid carcinoma and autoimmune thyroid diseases in exposed populations. The thyroidal effects of the Chernobyl accident have been investigated in most European countries, except Turkey. The aim of the current study was therefore to determine the thyroidal consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident in a selected Turkish population. Design: This study was designed as a sectional, area study, between October 2000 and March 2001, in two different regions of Turkey. According to the data of the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, the eastern part of the Black Sea region was the most radiocontaminated area in Turkey at the time of Chernobyl accident, while Middle Anatolia was not seriously affected. Thus, Rize city, which is located in the eastern Black Sea region, served as a study area, and 970 adolescents, living in this region, comprised our study group (group R). On the other hand, Beypazarı, which is located in Middle Anatolia was choosen as the control region, and 710 adolescents living in this location were enrolled into the study as controls (group B). Methods: During the study, thyroid ultrasounds were performed in all subjects and thyroid volumes were calculated. World Health Organization and International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders criteria were used for the determination of goiter. Thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance was performed when a nodule was detected. Blood samples for thyroid function tests and thyroid autoantibodies, and urine samples for urinary iodine excretion were collected from all subjects. Results: Thyroid function tests were similar in both groups, but thyroid volumes were found to be higher in group B ð13:93^5:04 vs 17:66^5:58 ml; P , 0:001Þ: The prevalence of goiter was found to be 28.25% in group R and 61.95% in group B ðP , 0:001Þ: Thyroid nodules were determined in 6.28% of subjects in group R and 4.22% of subjects in group B ðP ¼ 0:065Þ: No malignant lesions were found in either of the regions. Although the percentage of autoantibody-positive subjects did not differ between groups (21.25% in group R vs 18.72% in group B), the mean antithyroglobulin level was found to be higher in group R ð63:25^378:60 vs 51:97^333:32 IU=ml; P , 0:001Þ and the mean anti-thyroid peroxidase level was higher in group B ð24:14^219:09 vs 48:82^568:50 IU=ml; P , 0:001Þ: The iodine status of the selected regions was found to be significantly different (median urinary iodine excretion was 131 mg/l in Rize and 54 mg/l in Beypazarı). Conclusions: Although there was a slight increase in nodule prevalence and thyroid antibody-positive subjects in the study group, it is hard to conclude that Turkey was affected by the Chernobyl accident. These results, at least the significant differences with regard to the prevalence of goiters between groups, m...
