FRAX-based intervention thresholds in eight Eurasian countries: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, the Russian Federation, and Uzbekistan.

Unlabelled: Age-specific intervention and assessment thresholds based on FRAX® were developed for eight Eurasian countries participating in the EVA study (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, and Uzbekistan).

Thyroid-stimulating hormone is not the primary regulator of thyroid development in euthyroid children and adolescents living in an iodine-replete area.

Objectives: It is known that there are multiple factors which can affect thyroid gland development during childhood and adolescence. Our aim was to investigate this issue by examining the relationships between age, sex, several anthropometric parameters, pubertal status, thyroid function tests, and iodine intake status with thyroid volume (TV) in children and adolescents.

Study Design: This was a cross-sectional field study conducted in 11 representative cities and villages of Uzbekistan.

Epidemiological data of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children in Uzbekistan, 1998-2014.

Aims: We aimed to determine the incidence, prevalence and mortality of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Uzbekistan in children <15 years old.

Methods: In a prospective study from 1998 to 2014 the primary ascertainment of incidence, prevalence and mortality, and cause of death was via data collected by endocrinology dispensaries in Uzbekistan's 14 administrative divisions. A second data collection for 2008-2010 from a national audit in 2011 was used to determine age structure.
