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 150p.g of iodine per day to the entire population through making available IODIZED SALT. This study was performed to evaluate the national IDD council program in 1996, in rural and urban areas of Bushehr Province. 1400 school children, years 8 to 10 years, including 50% girls and 50% boys, were selected through random sampling. Grading of GOITER was performed according to classification of WHO. Serum T3, T4 and TSH were measured by RIA and URINARY IODINE by digestion method. The mean of serum T4, T3 and TSH were: 10.0±2 µg/dl, 160±30 ng/dl and 3.0±1.4 µIu/ml; respectively. There were no differences between males and females and school children of rural and urban areas. Eight person had serum T4 more than 12.5 µg/dl and only five person had TSH more than 5 µIu/ml. The mean URINARY IODINE was 17 µg/dl in entire population, 89% had URINARY IODINE more than 10 µg/dl. Only 3.6% had URINARY IODINE less than 5 µg/dl. Total prevalence of GOITER was 53% (56% in girls and 54% in boys). Based on the available data, seven years after distribution of IODIZED SALT and 2 years after that more than 50% of population used IODIZED SALT, URINARY IODINE of school children in Bushehr Province is in "adequate" range. However, GOITER is still hyperendemic in Bushehr Province.
