Abstract:
For the first time,the iodine-induced thyroid diseases group of China Medical University has finished a five-year prospective epidemiological study on the incidences of thyroid diseases in the three communities with various levels of iodine intake.The results indicated that increased incidences of subclinical hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis in the communities with more than adequate and excessive iodine intake.The individuals with positive thyroid autoantibodies at baseline more likely became hypothyroid due to more than adequate and excessive iodine intake.These adverse effects are mainly involved in the susceptible populations for thyroid diseases.Hence it appears to be reasonable that iodine supplementation should be conducted by localization and individualization.
