- Goiter
By April 1983, overall goiter frequency in school children had declined to 6.1%, and large goiters (WHO Grade 2) had virtually disappeared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Apparently, this was a case of endemic goiter. Endemic goiter used to be common in the United States. Indeed, the upper Midwest was once known as the “goiter belt” in reference to the prevalence of goiter only a few generations ago. [healio.com]
Two urban areas were selected from the moderate endemic zones of goiter. [journals.lww.com]

A fall in the metabolic rate and an increase in blood cholesterol are two other symptoms of thyroid hormone deficiency. Sporadic Goiters are caused by taking of large amounts of certain foods or drugs and affect individuals. [infonet-biovision.org]

HYPOTHYROIDISM – As the body’s iodine levels fall, hypothyroidism may develop, since iodine is essential for making thyroid hormone. [thyroid.org]

This disorder is entirely preventable by making sure that pregnant women have sufficient iodine in their diet to be euthyroid (having adequate thyroid hormone levels). [courses.washington.edu]
A gioter is an enlarged thyroid gland and can be caused by hypothyroidism. hyperthyroidism, or euthyroid. In your case above hyperthyroidism was the cause of the goiter, hyperthyroidism is not caused by iodine defiency. [allnurses.com]

The NNC said that the problem of IDD was dubbed as the “silent emergency” in the early part of 1990, when “hidden hunger” was used to refer to micronutrient malnutrition. [nnc.gov.ph]
General Assembly on Children, GAIN is the only international organization focused entirely on ending malnutrition. [gainhealth.org]
Therefore, the main objective of this study is to clarify the relationship between adult iodine malnutrition (including iodine deficiency due to low coverage rate of iodized salt and excess iodine intake from drinking water) and thyroid abnormalities [journals.plos.org]
Although there is limited research regarding the feasibility of fortifying foods with iodine, the World Health Organization (WHO) has described the fortification of food with micronutrients as a valid means for reducing micronutrient malnutrition (WHO [cochranelibrary.com]
Creatinine and creatinuria are not taken into consideration in the vast majority of studies designed to determine iodine status in a population, given that creatinine concentration is low in those regions with a significant frequency of malnutrition. [omicsonline.org]
