Abstract

Aim: Iodine deficiency disorders have been underlied the production and distribution of Iodinated salt programmers. Considering of accounting for urinary iodine evaluation in high risk groups importance in our country from a few decades ago, our study was conducted to prevent iodine deficiency disease among 8-10 years old students in 2015 in Iran university medical sciences.

Procedures: In this descriptive analytical study, 240 students of both sexes aged 8-10 inhabitant in urban and rural provinces were selected randomly by cluster sampling. All iodine excretion samples were measured according to ministry of health guidelines through acidic digestion.

Findings: In our study the average of urinary iodine was good in %78.3 of students. However, it was reported less than 10 (µg/L) in %5.4 of children. Therefore iodine deficiency distribution was divided by in two levels of slight and moderate including 4.16 and 1.25 percent, respectively. Urinary iodine median difference was insignificant for sex (p-value = 0.36), in urban and rural provinces (p-value = 0.63) and in different health centers and networks (p-value = 0.074).

Conclusions: Urinary iodine excretion median levels was reported 180.49 (µg/L) that showed desirable amounts of excretion iodine median among students.
