Abstract:
Objective:To study the urinary iodine levels of children in Jiangxi Province and provide a basis for prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders and scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:From March to July in 2022, a systematic sampling method was used in 99 counties (cities, districts, abbreviated as counties) in Jiangxi Province. One township (street) was selected from each county in five directions: east, west, south, north and middle. One primary school was selected from each township (street), and 40 non boarding children aged 8 - 10 (half male and half female) were selected from each primary school. One random urine sample was collected to test urinary iodine, and the distribution of urinary iodine in different regions, genders, and ages were compared.Results:A total of 19 842 urine samples were collected from children, with a median urinary iodine level of 181.90 μg/L. The median urinary iodine levels of children in different cities ( H = 1 014.05, P < 0.001), genders ( Z = 6.44, P < 0.001) and ages groups ( H = 29.82, P < 0.001) were compared, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:The urinary iodine level of children in Jiangxi Province is at an appropriate level, but the distribution of urinary iodine is uneven among different regions, genders, and ages, indicating that scientific and precise iodine supplementation is necessary for the prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders.
