The aim of this paper was to determine goiter prevalence and urinary iodine excretion in the Veneto region. An extensive epidemiological survey was carried out in school-aged children visiting 6285 students and testing 1861 urinary samples. A goiter prevalence of 8.8% was found: 7.7% of grade 1A and 1.1% 1B; in the pre-mountainous area the prevalence was higher than 10% (11.7% in the Treviso and 12.7% in the Vicenza area). Urinary iodine excretion was less than 100 micrograms/Cr in about 45% of all examined children with a peak of 20% under 50 micrograms/Cr in the Vicenza district. According to the WHO criteria, the goiter prevalence in the Veneto can be considered under the limits of the epidemic standards. However the use of iodized salt seems advisable also in this area.
本文旨在确定威尼托地区的甲状腺肿患病率及尿碘排泄情况。对6285名学龄儿童进行了广泛的流行病学调查，检测了1861份尿样。结果发现甲状腺肿患病率为8.8%：一年级A班为7.7%，一年级B班为1.1%；在山前地区，患病率高于10%（特雷维索为11.7%，维琴察地区为12.7%）。在所有接受检查的儿童中，约45%的儿童尿碘排泄量低于100微克/肌酐，在维琴察地区，尿碘排泄量低于50微克/肌酐的儿童比例最高，为20%。根据世界卫生组织的标准，威尼托地区的甲状腺肿患病率可被视为在流行标准范围之内。然而，在该地区使用碘盐似乎也是可取的。
