Add to ORKGBACKGROUND: The long-term effects of ionising radiation, including radioiodine, on thyroid function are not well known. We compared thyroid immunity and function in two groups of children from Belarus, one of whom was exposed to the radioactive fallout of Chernobyl. METHODS: We measured serum free thyroxine 4 (free T4), free T3, and thyrotropin hormone (TSH) and the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies (antithyroglobulin and antithyroperoxidase), in 287 children or adolescents living in Hoiniki (average caesium contamination of 5.4 Ci/km2). We also studied 208 children and adolescents living in Braslav (average contamination <0.1 Ci/km2), who were age 12 years or less at the time of the Chernobyl accident. FINDINGS: The prevalence of antith...
