Abstract

Background: According to the reports of thyrotoxicosis after IODINATION projects in Africa, WHO, UNICEF, and ICCIDD have revised the median of URINARY IODINE as 100-200 µg/l. This figure implied that part of our society especially children, pregnant and lactating women are highly susceptible to iodine deficiency, so this study was conducted following IODINATION with 40 ppm of IODIZED SALT, in Iran. Since 1994 more than half of our society have received IODIZED SALT-and this study has been carried out 2 years later. Materials and methods: 30 clusters including 10 schoolchildren aged 8-10 years old were randomly chosen with PPS method through 26 provinces, in the meanwhile 2720 normal individuals aged 6-80 years old were selected randomly through 3 big cities and surveyed separately. URINARY IODINE was measured by means of "Digestion" method, whereas the serum level of T3, T4 and TSH was determined using radioimmunoassay and T3RU, antithyroglubulin and antimicrosomal antibodies were determined using Kodak kits. Results: Median of URINARY IODINE was 223 µg/l and 2.6%, 3.3%, and 9% of the schoolchildren had URINARY IODINE of less than 20, 50, and 100 µg/l, respectively. In 7 provinces, the median of URINARY IODINE was 150-200 µg/l, where 5-20% of the schoolchildren had URINARY IODINE of less than 50µg/l. Meanwhile, in other 12 provinces the median of URINARY IODINE was 200-300 µg/l, where 1-11% of the schoolchildren had URINARY IODINE of less than 50µg/l. Among 2720 individuals URINARY IODINE of less than 50µg/l was reported in 15% of the cases, however, among 258 women aged 18-40 years old 7%,16%, and 31% had URINARY IODINE of less than 50, 100, and 150 µg/l, respectively. T4, T3, and TSH were reported in normal range, however, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were revealed in 3 and 4 cases, respectively. Positive antithyroid antibodies were detected in 2.1% of our society. Conclusion: Study has revealed that in case of URINARY IODINE of 100-200 µg/l, some of the children and women in fertility age are highly susceptible to iodine deficiency. Meanwhile, altered thyroid function was rarely seen with daily usage of 40 ppm IODIZED SALT.
