Endemic goiter Back to TopCauses Colloid nodular goiters are also known as endemic goiters. They are usually caused by not getting enough iodine in the diet. Colloid nodular goiters tend to occur in certain areas with iodine-poor soil. These areas are usually away from the sea coast. An area is defined as endemic for goiter if more than 10% of children ages 6 - 12 have goiters. Certain things in the environment may also cause thyroid enlargement. Small- to moderate-sized goiters are relatively common in the United States. The Great Lakes, Midwest, and Intermountain regions were once known as the "goiter belt." The routine use of iodized table salt now helps prevent this deficiency.
