Abstract

The first description of endemic goitre on the territory of Bashkiria belongs to Tikhon Uspensky (1835), who observed a "tumour" on the neck of every third inhabitant in some settlements on the slopes of the Ural Mountains. Usually these villages were situated in deep ravines and surrounded by extensive forests.
