Abstract:
The universal salt iodization project is considered a successful example in the global public health field. In the past 30 years, most countries have implemented mandatory salt iodization policies, effectively improving the iodine nutrition status of the population and preventing the occurrence and development of iodine deficiency disorders. However, with the rising incidence of thyroid diseases in recent years, especially thyroid carcinoma (TC), the question whether excessive iodine supplementation will lead to an increase in the incidence rate of TC has aroused concern. There are significant differences in iodine nutrition levels among countries in the Asia-Pacific, and the iodine fortification policies adopted are also different. Therefore, this article will review the iodine fortification policies, iodine nutrition status, and recent incidence and mortality of TC in some countries in the Asia-Pacific, aiming to study the relationship between iodine fortification policies, iodine nutrition status, and TC incidence.
