The adverse effects of iodine deficiency (ID) intellectual impairment, damaged reproduction, goiter and hypo- and hyperthyroidism are well known and easily corrected with salt iodization, but they continue to impair health and socioeconomic development, with more than two billion people at risk worldwide. During the major global expansion of salt iodization over the past four decades, much of Europe has remained iodine deficient. Although every European country endorsed the goal of eliminating iodine deficiency at the 1992 World Health Assembly, control of iodine deficiency has received low priority in much of Europe. However, there has been recent progress in the region and the number of children with low iodine intakes has decreased by ca. 30% since 2003. This paper presents an estimate of the prevalence of iodine deficiency in Europe in 2010, based on a systematic review to update the WHO Vitamin and Mineral Nutrition Information System (VMNIS) database.
碘缺乏的不良影响（ID）智力障碍、生殖受损、甲状腺肿和甲状腺功能减退及亢进是众所周知的，通过食盐碘化很容易得到纠正，但它们仍在损害健康和社会经济发展，全世界有超过 20 亿人面临风险。在过去四十年间食盐碘化的大规模全球扩展期间，欧洲的大部分地区仍然存在碘缺乏。尽管每个欧洲国家都在 1992 年世界卫生大会上认可了消除碘缺乏的目标，但在欧洲的大部分地区，碘缺乏的控制并没有得到高度重视。然而，该地区最近取得了进展，自 2003 年以来，儿童碘摄入量低的人数减少了约 30%。本文根据对世界卫生组织维生素和矿物质营养信息系统（VMNIS）数据库的更新进行的系统评价，对 2010 年欧洲碘缺乏的流行情况进行了估计。
