In the Ituri Forest of Huate\u2010Zaire, two distinct populations, the Efe (pygmy) and Lese (Bantu), live in association with each other and have similar diets. The goiter survey reported here documents differences in goiter prevalence and severity between the nomadic pygmy and village\u2010living Bantu populations. While the Efe have an overall goiter prevalence of 9.4%, the Lese have a goiter prevalence of 42.9%. Furthermore, Efe women living in Lese villages and subsisting on a Lese diet have a prevalence of goiter similar to that of forest\u2010living Efe women. Village\u2010living individuals born of Efe mothers and Lese fathers have a prevalence of goiter greater than that of pure Efe but less than that of Lese. While our data cannot exclude dietary explanations for the difference in goiter prevalence between the Efe and Lese, they do support the hypothesis that the Efe possess an adaptation to an iodine\u2010deficient environment that does not result in the development of goiters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330780408","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,9]],"date-time":"2005-08-09T09:23:40Z","timestamp":1123579420000},"page":"527-531","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Anomalously low endemic goiter prevalence among Efe pygmies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Philip R.","family":"Dormitzer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter T.","family":"Ellison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans H.","family":"Bode","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Coping With Uncertainty in Food Supply","author":"Bailey RE","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"51","volume-title":"Nutritional Factors Involved in the Goitogenic Action of Cassava","author":"Bordeoux P","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-34-6-1059"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","first-page":"40","volume-title":"Nutritional factors involved in the goitrogenic action of cassava","author":"Delange F","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-21-2-175"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"634","volume-title":"Werner's The Thyroid","author":"Friedman JM","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330380126"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.4.1.16"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","unstructured":"PerezC SchrimshawNS andMunozJA(1960)Technique of endemic goitre surveys.
