“…Makwan et al, study shows the overall prevalence of goiter among the study population was 4.83%. [7][8][9] Findings contrary to our study were observed in a study conducted by Chandwani et al, where the prevalence was found to be 23.2%. 10 About 97.2% of the salt sample had iodine concentration ≥15 and none had zero iodine content.…”

Background: Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) constitute the single largest cause of preventable neurological damage worldwide. Majority of consequences of IDD are invisible and irreversible but at the same time these are preventable. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence of goiter in school children aged 6-12 years, to estimate the urinary iodine excretion and to assess the level of iodine concentration in salt samples obtained from households of selected school children.Methods: Population proportionate to size sampling. Sample size was 90 primary school-going children of age 6-12 years in each selected village, total 2700 from 30 villages/wards in Betul district, Madhya Pradesh, India.Results: The prevalence of goiter among the 6-12 years children was found to be 32.06%. Females had higher prevalence compared to males. Of the 540 salt samples, 370 (68.4%) had iodine concentration ≥15 ppm at household level.Conclusions: IDD is a mild public health problem in Betul district.

“… 25 Iodine-deficient populations have higher serum TSH concentrations and lower serum T4 concentration, as the pituitary gland secretes TSH in response to circulating levels of T4, and the serum TSH rises when serum T4 concentrations are low. 26 The mean serum T3 was found to be in a high normal level, the mean serum T4 was found to be in a low normal level, and the mean serum TSH was found to be in a high level. 13 This may be explained by thyroidal secretion of T4 and T3 in the proportion in which they exist within the gland, preferential secretion of T3, or increased peripheral conversion of T4 to T3.…”

“…Iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) is the most common cause of preventable brain damage, mental retardation and stunted growth in children. 1 More than 90% of iodine intake is excreted in urine, thus urinary iodine excretion (UIE) is considered a good biochemical marker of recent dietary intake of iodine. 2 Thyroid hormones are essential for growth and development of the brain and central nervous system and the regulation of important metabolic processes.…”

Objective:This study aimed to assess the iodine deficiency, prevalence of goitre among schoolchildren and measuring environmental iodine in Taif city, Saudi Arabia.Methods:A cross-sectional multistage cluster-sampling methodology was done on 1887 schoolchildren. Their urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and goitre prevalence was assessed. Blood level of triiodothyronin, thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating-hormone was carried out for students with normal, mild; moderate and sever iodine deficiency. The iodine content of salt, water and soil was also assessed.Results:Goitre prevalence was 7.4% and about 71% of the participants had UIC less than 100μg/L. An inverse relationship between median UIC and the percent prevalence of goitre was found. The mean serum T3, T4 and TSH were 1.05ng/dL, 6.81µg/dL, and 5.69mIU/L, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between the mean value of urinary iodine and the mean value of both T3 and T4. While a significant negative correlation between the mean value of urinary iodine and the mean value of TSH was also noted.Conclusions:The results revealed the presence of a potential public health problem of iodine deficiency among school going children in high altitude areas of Saudi Arabia. There is a need to monitor and evaluate the salt iodization process, and distribute adequately iodized salt in the affected areas.

“…Similar findings were observed in a study done by Chudasama RK et al in Saurasthra region showed the prevalence rate of 8.8% and a study by Pushpa Sarkar et al, in neighbouring district Mandya, showed that the prevalence rate was 6.6% in school children and females had a higher prevalence compared to males in all the age groups. 8,9 Makwan NR et al ,study shows the overall prevalence of goiter among the study population was 4.83%. 4 Contrast to our study findings, higher prevalence rate of goiter (13.2%) was observed in a study by Kapil U, 10 Haresh Rameshkumar Chandwani et al study in Bharuch district, Gujarat (23.2%) 11 and Kamath R et al study in Rural Belgaum,16.6%.…”

Background: Iodine is an essential micronutrient with an RDA of 100-150 μg for normal human growth and mental development. Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) constitute the single largest cause of preventable brain damage worldwide. Majority of consequences of IDD are invisible and irreversible but at the same time these are preventable. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence of goiter in school children aged 6-12 years and to assess the level of iodine concentration in salt samples obtained from households of selected school children. Methods: Population proportionate to size sampling. Sample size: 90 primary school-going children of age 6-12 years in each selected village, total 2700 from 30 villages in Ramanagara district, Karnataka, India. Results: The prevalence of goiter among the 6-12 years children was found to be 8.6%. Females had higher prevalence compared to males in all the age groups but the difference was not statistically significant (0.437). Of the 540 salt samples, 518(95.3%) had iodine concentration ≥15 ppm at household level. Conclusions: IDD is a mild public health problem in Ramanagara district. There is a need of periodic surveys to assess the change in magnitude of the IDD with respect to impact of iodized salt (IS) intervention.

Iodine nutritional status and goiter prevalence in 6–12 years primary school children of Saurashtra region, India

Abstract: There is mild goiter prevalence in primary school children of Rajkot district, which is due to the inadequate iodine intake or content from salt at the household level.
