General Notes:
Cross-sectional survey in a purposive sample in three districts, one with known TGP (Huejutla), one with unknown TGP (Ixmiquilpan) and one with no expected iodine deficiency
(Pachuca); ingestion of goitrogens might have contributed to the persistence of goitre.

Reference no
The ThyroMobil study in Mexico covered 23 sentinel sites in 16 districts randomly selected in provinces known as iodine deficient in the past; sample selection was done in coordination
with the health authorities, using Ministries of Health's records; SAC randomly selected from one school at each site; goitre investigated by ultrasonography, values not included in the
database.
UI <50 µg/L: 14.3%

General Notes:
Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling with probability proportionate to size; same survey reported in reference No. 2997.
