Abstract

Background: IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDERS (IDD) are a worldwide health problem. It was a known problem in Iran, where control and preventive programs including preparing and distribution of iodized salts have been introduced since 1988. This study has been carried out on 8-10 year-old schoolchildren in Tehran province, 1996,to evaluate the IDD control program. Materials and methods: 1400 schoolchildren (M/F=1) aged 8-10 years old had been studied through a descriptive -cross sectional study with randomized sampling. GOITER was graded according to the clinical examination and measurement of T3, T4, TSH (radioimmunoassay), T3RU and urinary iodine (Digestion method). Results: Mean of T4, T3, and TSH was reported 10.4±1.8 µg/dl, 205±46 ng/dl, and 1.4± 0.8 µIU/ml, respectively. No significant difference was noted among male and female or rural and urban areas. 18(1.3%) cases had serum T4above 12.5 µg/dl and one had TSH above 5 µIU/ml. Mean of urinary iodine was recorded 21.8 µg/dl, where 92% had urinary iodine above 10 µg/dl. Urinary iodine of less than 5 µg/dl was found in 4% of the cases. Total prevalence of GOITER was 51% (30% in male and 21% in female). Conclusion: Results have revealed that 7 years after introducing the IDD control program and just 2 years after using iodized salt by more than 50% of the population, urinary iodine of schoolchildren aged 8-10 years old has increased and met adequate levels approved by WHO.
