Abstract

Introduction: IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDERs (IDD) are a worldwide health problem and have been known as a major public health problem in Iran for many years. Isfahan is among the areas with a high rate of GOITER according to studies before the intervention. The IDD Control and Monitoring Program in Iran, which includes production and distribution of iodized salt has been underway since 1989.Methods: This survey was conducted to monitor the national IDD program in 2001. This was a cross-sectional survey. 1200 schoolchildren (sex ratio=1) were randomly selected. GOITER was assessed by palpation and graded according to WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD classification. URINARY IODINE was measured in one-tenth of the population.Results: Total GOITER rate was 5.5% in Isfahan (F:5%, M:5.9%). Median URINARY IODINE was 11.9µg/dl. In 62% of the population URINARY IODINE level was over 10 µg/dl and URINARY IODINE level lower than 5µg/dl was found in 10% of the population. URINARY IODINE levels below 2µg/dl were not detected in any of the children. No significant difference was found in the prevalence of GOITER and URINARY IODINE level between boys and girls, or between urban and rural regions.Discussion: The findings reveal significant reduction in the of prevalence of GOITER compared with 1996 and show that after 11 years of salt iodization, Isfahan has met standards approved by WHO and can be considered to be IDD free.
