Urinary iodine excretion (UIE) was measured on urine samples collected in the morning from 3480 subjects (both adults and children) living in an extended territory of Campania region including urban and extraurban areas, in the period 1993-96. UIE was measured by an autoanalyzer (Bran + Luebbe) and expressed as microgram/l. Means UIE were significantly lower in the patients living in the villages of Avellino (65 +/- 48), Benevento (44 +/- 44) and Caserta (78 +/- 53) respect to the control subjects from the area of Naples (102 +/- 66). These data demonstrate that in many areas of our region a mild-moderate iodine deficiency is still present as indicated by a low urinary iodine excretion and therefore an effective program of iodoprophylaxis is fundamental in this region.
1993年至1996年期间，对居住在坎帕尼亚大区包括城市和郊区在内的广大区域的3480名受试者（包括成人和儿童）早晨采集的尿液样本进行了尿碘排泄量（UIE）测量。尿碘排泄量通过自动分析仪（Bran + Luebbe）进行测量，并以微克/升表示。与那不勒斯地区的对照受试者（102±66）相比，居住在阿韦利诺村（65±48）、贝内文托村（44±44）和卡塞塔村（78±53）的患者的平均尿碘排泄量显著更低。这些数据表明，正如低尿碘排泄所显示的那样，在我们地区的许多地方仍然存在轻度至中度碘缺乏，因此有效的碘预防计划在该地区至关重要。
