The Value of Screening to Identify Risk Factors for Delayed Puberty in Adolescent Boys and Correlations with Iodine Deficiencies in Various Regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Abstract

In this article, the authors have analyzed 1066 cases of adolescent boys’ examination in various regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Various violations of sexual and general development have been detected in 696 adolescents (65.3 %), of whom in 412 (38.6 %) this pathology was combined with iodine deficiency. Among the violations, the most frequent were following: delayed puberty of varying degrees — in 191 adolescents (17.9 %), as well as delayed physical and sexual development — 126 cases (11.8 %). Isolated growth retardation was found in 134 adolescents (12.5 %). Of 696 patients with different developmental disorders, in 330 they were combined with thyroid disease (47.4 %). These findings confirm the literature data that iodine deficiency is a risk factor for both congenital abnormalities in the fetus, and developmental disorders.
