Abstract

Background and Objectives: IODINE DEFICIENCY disorders are among the most important health problems in Iran. One of the major objectives of national committee of IDD, is to have clear and accurate knowledge on geographic distribution of endemic goiter in cities and provinces around the nation. The aim of present study was to determine PREVALENCE OF GOITER in 14-18 years old female students of Shiraz, 8 years after iodinization of salt. Urinary excretion of iodine was also determined in order to assess the effect of consumption of iodized salt on PREVALENCE OF GOITER.Materials and Methods: In this cross- sectional study, 1200 (3.18% of the population) high school female students, 14-18 years old, were selected randomly by proportionate multi- stage cluster sampling method. Subjects underwent clinical examination for the presence of goiter. Clinical examination and classification of goiter were made according to World Health Organization standard. A subsample of 107 high school children (about 10% of sample) was chosen to conduct the urinary iodine determination.Results: The results revealed that the prevelance rate of goiter was 25%. Grade 1B goiter was more prevalent (13.9%) than Grade 1A (7.4%). The present study also showed that mean sd of urinary iodine concentrations and URINARY IODIDE/CREATININE RATIO in sub samples were 19.95 7.8 ug/dl and 190.63 115 ug/g respectively.Conclusion: IODINE DEFICIENCY according to two indices, urinary iodine level and urinary iodine/creatinine ratio in sub sample of high school girls were 4.7% and 12.1 % respectively. This necessitates to continue salt iodization programme and further studies should be carried out to investigate other factors that might be involved in genesis of thyroid enlargement.
