In 1996, the Mongolian Government pledged to eliminate iodine deficiency disorders by 2001 using salt iodization as its primary strategy. Iodine content in salt was set at 50 +/- 10 PPM based on an assumption of 5 g of daily salt intake. In 1998, the authors suspected that salt intake was more than 5 g and that pregnant women consumed more salt than non-pregnant women. Over 1,600 adults of both sexes were studied in five provinces. In this study we estimated salt intake based on urinary excretion of sodium and creatinine. A formula was used to calculate salt intake from excreted volumes of sodium and creatinine. Average values for pregnant women, non-pregnant women, and men, were found to be 15.6 g (n = 499), 12.6 g (n = 598), and 14.6 g (n = 571), respectively. We concluded that appropriate iodine content in salt should range from 20 to 40 PPM. It is recommended that health education regarding proper levels of salt intake be carried out with the general public, with emphasis on pregnant women.
1996年，蒙古政府承诺到2001年通过以食盐加碘作为主要策略来消除碘缺乏病。基于每日食盐摄入量为5克的假设，食盐中的碘含量设定为50±10 ppm。1998年，作者怀疑食盐摄入量超过5克，且孕妇比非孕妇摄入更多食盐。在五个省份对1600多名成年男女进行了研究。在本研究中，我们根据尿钠和肌酐排泄量估算食盐摄入量。使用一个公式根据钠和肌酐的排泄量计算食盐摄入量。结果发现，孕妇、非孕妇和男性的平均值分别为15.6克（n = 499）、12.6克（n = 598）和14.6克（n = 571）。我们得出结论，食盐中合适的碘含量应在20至40 ppm之间。建议对公众开展关于适当食盐摄入量的健康教育，重点是孕妇。
