A cross-sectional survey of 3589 adolescents was conducted in three cities from different typical geographical zones of Guangdong province. The median urinary iodine concentrations (MUI) of adolescents in Nanxiong, Guangzhou and Maoming were 286.6,204.1 and 166.0μ/L, respectively. The MUI of all these adolescents Was 231.7μg/L, which was slightly higher than the current World Health Organization recommendation.
