Abstract:
Salt iodization is the most fundamental, safe, economical and simple measure to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). About 120 countries (regions) around the world have adopted the strategy of compulsory salt iodization. Although most countries (regions) in the world have implemented the strategy of salt iodization, IDD is still an important public health problem threatening human health due to the health strategy of promoting low salt diet. In addition, there are excessive iodine intakes in some countries (regions). Therefore, scientific iodine supplement has become a public health issue of common concern all over the world. It is necessary to scientifically formulate the iodine content in salt in combination with the dietary structure of residents and the iodine level of natural environment.
