Abstract:
Objective To find out the status of iodine nutrition and the goiter of population in Zhejiang Province after adjustment of salt iodine concentration.Methods From April to June 2013,the probability proportionate to size sampling method was applied in 31 countries in Zhejiang Province to select 1 650 school-age children aged 8-10 to examine thyroid by B ultrasound,to collect urine and salt samples,and to test the iodine level using the colorimetric titration method and the spectrophotometer method.Six hundred and twenty pregnant women were selected to collect urine samples and urinary iodine was tested by the spectrophotometer method.Results The coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt in Zhejiang Province after adjustment of salt iodine concentration were 93.20％ (1 521/1 632) and 89.71％ (1 464/1 632),respectively;and the medians urinary iodine in children and pregnant women were 178.40 μg/L and 127.23 μg/L,respectively;and the goiter and median thyroid volume were 5.27％ (87/1 650) and 3.45 ml,respectively;the P97 thyroid volume of children in Zhejiang Province in the 8,9 and 10 years old groups (4.76,5.29,6.36 ml) were higher than those (4.5,5.0,6.0 ml) in the thyroid volume reference (WS 276-2007);and the correlations between thyroid volume,goiter and urinary iodine were not found.Conclusions After adjustment of salt iodine concentration,the status of iodine nutrition in Zhejiang Province in general is down to optimum level,which indicates that it is appropriate for this adjustment,but the level of iodine nutrition in pregnant women is less than appropriate,which should be pay attention to.
