The present study was conducted in year 2002 in NCT of Delhi with the objective to re-assess the prevalence of iodine deficiency disorders.
A total of 7009 children in the age group of 6-11 years were clinically examined for presence of goiter. A total of 991 salt samples were also collected randomly. On the spot casual urine samples were collected from 1395 children.
The total goiter prevalence was found to be 6.2%. The percentage of children with urinary iodine excretion (UIE) of < 20.0, 20.0- < 50.0, 50.0-99.9 and 100.0 microg/l and above was 0.8, 1.8, 8.7 and 88.7%, respectively. The median UIE level was 200 microg/L. The assessment of iodine content of salt revealed that only 16% of the families were consuming salt with iodine content less than 5 ppm.
The findings of the present study indicated that the population is in a transition phase from iodine deficient (as revealed by Total Goiter Prevalence) to iodine sufficient nutriture (as revealed by median UIE 200 microg/l). A significant progress has been achieved towards elimination of IDD from NCT of Delhi.
本研究于2002年在德里国家首都辖区开展，旨在重新评估碘缺乏病的患病率。
对7009名6至11岁儿童进行临床甲状腺肿检查。还随机收集了991份盐样本。当场从1395名儿童中收集随机尿样。
甲状腺肿总患病率为6.2%。尿碘排泄量（UIE）<20.0、20.0至<50.0、50.0至99.9以及100.0微克/升及以上的儿童百分比分别为0.8%、1.8%、8.7%和88.7%。尿碘排泄量中位数为200微克/升。盐碘含量评估显示，只有16%的家庭食用碘含量低于5 ppm的盐。
本研究结果表明，该人群正处于从碘缺乏（以甲状腺肿总患病率显示）向碘营养充足（以尿碘排泄量中位数200微克/升显示）的过渡阶段。在德里国家首都辖区消除碘缺乏病方面已取得重大进展。
