A national random sample survey of iodine excretion among primary schoolchildren in Kenya was carried out in 1974/75, in order to monitor the endemic goitre situation and its control more accurately and to gain more insight in the geographical distribution of iodine deficiency in the country. Urine samples were collected in 59 randomly chosen primary schools in 32 districts from which the individual iodine/creatinine ratios were determined. The results are analysed and presented per school, per district and per province, showing areas of normal, moderate and low iodine intake, and latter coinciding with the known goitre areas in Kenya. Although some doubts have been cast on the methods used in this survey and the consequent reliability of its conclusions, the authors consider its publication yet justified.
1974/75年，肯尼亚对小学生碘排泄情况进行了全国随机抽样调查，目的是更准确地监测地方性甲状腺肿状况及其控制情况，并更深入了解该国碘缺乏的地理分布。在32个地区的59所随机选择的小学收集了尿液样本，并测定了个体碘/肌酐比值。结果按学校、地区和省份进行分析和呈现，显示了碘摄入量正常、中等和低的地区，后者与肯尼亚已知的甲状腺肿地区相符。尽管有人对该调查所采用的方法及其结论的可靠性提出了一些质疑，但作者认为仍有理由发表该调查结果。
