Iodine is an essential element for growth and development of children. Ensuring adequate iodine intake and monitoring iodine intake are important public health concerns. According to the World Health Organization, a population-based assessment of iodine status is often done by measuring urine iodine concentration (UIC) in children aged 6-12 years. National data for large countries may hide regional differences in the UIC. Currently, there is limited data on the iodine status of children in Russia. We summarized the evidence on the iodine status of children in Russia using both international and local literature in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 2164 studies were identified, 12 of which met the selection criteria and covered 10 of 85 federal subjects. For most of the Russian regions there was no information on UIC. A range of methodologies were used to determine UIC. The median UIC ranged from 46 μg/L in the mountainous areas in the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, which corresponds to a moderate iodine deficiency (ID), to 719 μg/L in the town of Turinsk (Sverdlovsk region) indicating excessive of iodine intake. Nationwide monitoring should be implemented in Russia and public health measures should be adjusted to regional and local conditions to ensure adequate iodine nutrition for all citizens.
碘是儿童生长发育所必需的元素。确保足够的碘摄入和监测碘摄入是重要的公共卫生关注点。根据世界卫生组织的建议，通常通过测量 6-12 岁儿童的尿碘浓度 (UIC) 来评估人群的碘营养状况。对于大国的国家数据，可能会掩盖 UIC 在地区之间的差异。目前，俄罗斯儿童的碘营养状况数据有限。我们根据 PRISMA 指南，使用国际和本地文献，总结了俄罗斯儿童的碘营养状况证据。共确定了 2164 项研究，其中 12 项符合入选标准，涵盖了俄罗斯 85 个联邦主体中的 10 个。对于大多数俄罗斯地区，UIC 信息都不完整。UIC 的检测方法多种多样。UIC 的中位数范围从卡巴尔达-巴尔卡尔共和国山区的 46μg/L（中度碘缺乏）到斯维尔德洛夫斯克州图林斯克镇的 719μg/L（碘摄入过量）。俄罗斯应实施全国范围的监测，并根据地区和当地情况调整公共卫生措施，以确保所有公民都能获得足够的碘营养。
