Himachal Pradesh is a known endemic area for iodine deficiency disorders. A study was conducted in district Solan with the objective of assessing the prevalence of iodine deficiency disorders in school-age children. Thirty clusters were selected by using the probability-proportionate-to-size cluster sampling methodology. Clinical examination of the thyroid of 1898 children in the age-group of 6-12 years was conducted. Urine and salt samples were collected. The total goiter rate was found to be 15.4%. Median urinary iodine excretion level was 62.5 μg/l. Only 39% of the salt samples had iodine content of ≥15 ppm. Mild iodine deficiency was present in the subjects studied.
喜马偕尔邦是碘缺乏症的已知流行地区。在索兰区进行了一项研究，目的是评估学龄儿童碘缺乏症的流行情况。采用概率比例规模聚类抽样方法选择了 30 个聚类。对 1898 名 6-12 岁儿童的甲状腺进行了临床检查。采集了尿液和盐样。总的甲状腺肿大率为 15.4%。尿碘排泄中位数为 62.5μg/l。只有 39%的盐样含碘量≥15ppm。研究对象存在轻度碘缺乏。
