Abstract:
The survey of a large-scale water iodine had been carried out in the 1980 s in China,and the map of iodine content in drinking water of China was drawn.Endemic goitre was prevalent in all the provinces of China except Shanghai.It was found in the surveillances of 2002 and 2011 that the people's iodine nutrition level was enhanced in the areas of media water iodine 50-＜ 100 μg/L,pregnant and breastfeeding women's iodine nutrition level was appropriate,but the children's had reached or closed to excess.The areas of median water iodine 50 ～ ＜ 100 μg/L may be considered as adequate iodine areas preliminarily,at the same time the people's iodine nutrition level also need to be considered.
