ABSTRACT
In 1964 Goldberg et. a.l reported the results of a thyroid function study in a large group of normal Jamaicans. Very low 24 hour thyroidal uptakes of I131 were obtained, the mean being 13.8 percent of the dose. In view of these findings thyroid function was reassessed in 32 euthyroid Jamaican subjects. Investigations performed included, estimation of plasma inorganic iodide, 2, 4, and 24 hour thyroidal uptakes of radio iodide, absolute thyroidal iodide uptake and thyroidal and renal clearances of plasma iodide. Results obtained in all these investigations agreed well with those found in temperate climates and are at variance with the findings of Goldberg et al (AU)
