Abstract

Background: IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDER (IDD) is a worldwide health problem. Parts of Iran had been known as endemic areas for GOITER. IDD was accepted as a priority health problem in our country, and a National IDD Council was formed in 1989. This study was performed to evaluate the National IDD Council program in 1996, in urban and rural areas of Kermanshah Province.Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 1400 schoolchildren (M/F ratio=1), aged 8-10 years, were selected and grading of GOITER was performed in accordance to the WHO criteria. Serum T3 and T4 were measured by RIA and URINARY IODINE by digestion method. Results: The mean of T4, T3 and TSH were reported 9.5±1.3 µg/dl, 152.6±40 ng/dl, and 1.7±1µIU/ml, respectively. There were no differences between males and females or rural and urban residents. T4 above12.5 µg/dl was reported in one. TSH above 5µIU/ml was in reported in one, too. The median URINARY IODINE was 20 µg/dl in entire population. 75% had URINARY IODINE more than 10 µg/dl. URINARY IODINE of <5µg/dl was found in 11 %. Total prevalence of GOITER was 79% (80% in females and 77% in males). Conclusion: Results have revealed that 7 years after distribution of iodized salt and 2 years after more than50% of population used iodized salt, URINARY IODINE of school-aged children in Kermanshah Province has reached to WHO approved rate. However, GOITER is still hyper endemic in Kermanshah Province.
