Abstract

Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) is a worldwide health problem. Many parts of the Islamic Republic of Iran had been known as areas of endemic GOITER. IDD was accepted as a priority health problem in the country, and a National IDD council was formed in 1989. One of the main strategies of National council for IDD control was to provide at least 150μg of iodine per day to the entire population through making iodized salt available. This study was performed to cvaluate the national IDD council program in 1996, in rural and urban areas of Khuzestan province. 1300 schoolchildren, aged 8 to 10 year & including 50% girls and 50% boy & were selected through random sampling. Grading of GOITER was performed according to WHO’s classification. Serum T3, T4 and TSH were measured by RIA and uninary iodine by digestion method. The mean of serum T4, T3 and TSH were: 9.7 ± 1.7 μg/dl, 157±25 mg/dl and 3.0±2.0 μIu/ml , respectively. There were no differences between males and females and schoolchildren of rural and urban areas. 0.15% had serum T4 more than 12.5 μg/dl and 12 person had TSH more than 5μIu/ml. The mean of urinary iodine was 29 μg/dl in entire population, 89% had urinary iodine more than 10μg/dl. Only 1.8% had urinary iodine less than 5μg/dl. Total prevalence of GOITER was 58% (59% in girls and 57% in boys). Based on the available data, seven years after generalized use of iodized salt and 2 years after more than 50% of pupulation used iodized salt, uninary iodine of school children of Khuzestan province showed sufficient iodine intake. However, GOITER is still endemic in Khuzestan province.
