[Peculiar features of the clinical and metabolic status and its variations under the influence of rehabilitative treatment in the children with obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter].

A total of 120 children at the age of 10-15 years presenting with class I-II obesity were available for observation. Fifty two of them suffered diffuse non-toxic goiter. The combination of obesity and diffuse non-toxic goiter was associated with excessive body weight, insulin resistance, disturbances of lipid metabolism, and impaired tolerance of physical exercises. Differential therapeutic complexes have been proposed for the treatment of the children with diffuse nontoxic goiter. Their application was shown to induce positive dynamics of clinical conditions and laboratory characteristics of the patients.
