Because of the lack of definite diagnostic criteria and the fact that large scale epidemiological surveys are quite rare, data concerning the relative frequency of endemic cretinism and subcretinism are also varied. We have found in a relatively precise survey in a severe endemia the cretin incidence is 2.56% and that of subclinical individuals 14.8%. [Pg.267]

A clear relationship between endemic goiter and endemic cretinism was recognized in 1848 by an ad hoc commetee appointed by the King of Sardinia. Iodine deficiency in endemic areas was first documented in early 20th century by more recent epidemiological studies performed in Piemonte and Valle d Aosta. [Pg.403]
