This study assessed the relation of iodine content of household water to thyroid size and urinary iodine excretion in an area with high iodine concentration in the water.
The iodine content of household water and indicators of iodine status (thyroid size and urinary iodine level) were assessed in selected villages in Jiangsu Province, China.
Water iodine levels were positively correlated with urinary iodine levels and indicators of thyroid size at the township level.
Excess iodine in household water was the likely cause of endemic goiter and elevated urinary iodine levels in the study area. This finding affects public health policy on the institution of universal salt iodization for the elimination of iodine deficiency disorders.
本研究评估了在水碘浓度高的地区，家庭用水碘含量与甲状腺大小及尿碘排泄之间的关系。
在中国江苏省选定的村庄中，对家庭用水碘含量及碘营养状况指标（甲状腺大小和尿碘水平）进行了评估。
在乡镇层面，水碘水平与尿碘水平及甲状腺大小指标呈正相关。
家庭用水碘过量可能是研究地区地方性甲状腺肿和尿碘水平升高的原因。这一发现影响了关于实施全民食盐加碘以消除碘缺乏病的公共卫生政策。
