Abstract:
Objective:To learn about the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level of adults in different water iodine areas in Shanxi Province, and to study the relationship between high iodine intake in drinking water and blood glucose.Methods:The urinary iodine content and FBG of 18-65 years old residents in the high-water iodine area of Gaoche Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province in 2016 (iodine content in drinking water > 100 μg/L) and the low-water iodine area of Maxi Village (iodine content in drinking water < 10 μg/L) were retrospectively analyzed, and the urinary iodine content, FBG level and its abnormal rate of adults in different water iodine areas were compared.Results:A total of 598 subjects were included, including 276 in Gaoche Village and 322 in Maxi Village. The difference of median urinary iodine (422.8, 126.5 μg/L) between Gaoche Village and Maxi Village was statistically significant ( Z = 7.81, P < 0.001). The FBG levels of adults in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village [(6.70 ± 1.87), (6.04 ± 1.23) mmol/L] were significantly different ( t = 5.18, P < 0.001). The difference of FBG level in males [(6.82 ± 1.82), (5.99 ± 1.11) mmol/L] between the two regions was statistically significant ( t = 4.45, P < 0.001), the difference of FBG level in females [(6.59 ± 1.91), (6.07 ± 1.30) mmol/L] was statistically significant ( t = 2.96, P = 0.003). In Gaoche Village and Maxi Village, there was no statistically significant difference in FBG level between males and females ( t = 1.04, 0.52, P = 0.308, 0.564). Comparison of FBG levels in 18-< 45 years old group [(6.31 ± 1.57), (5.79 ± 0.89) mmol/L] and 45-65 years old group [(7.00 ± 2.02), (6.18 ± 1.36) mmol/L] between the two regions, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 3.10, 4.60, P = 0.002, P < 0.001). Moreover, in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village, the FBG level of the 45-65 years old group was higher than that of the 18-< 45 years old group in the same area, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.07, 2.74, P = 0.003, 0.006). The abnormal rate of FBG in adults in Gaoche Village and Maxi Village [28.3% (78/276) and 15.5% (50/322)] was statistically significantly different (χ 2 = 14.32, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Long-term intake of high iodine in drinking water may cause abnormal glucose metabolism.
