ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the iodine nutritional status of rural residents in Anyang City of Henan Province,and to provide theoretical basis for making policy adjustment on iodine supplement. Methods In 2015, Tangyin County and Anyang County were chosen from Anyang City, one township was selected from each county based on five orientations of east, west, south, north and centre, four villages were chosen from each township,15 households were taken from each village, and kitchen salt samples were collected to detect salt iodine;tap water samples were collected to detect water iodine.In the selected county,one medical institution was selected, 100 women of childbearing age,pregnant women,lactating women and infants aged 0-2 years old were selected to detect urinary iodine; one primary school was selected in the selected township, and 20 children aged 8 - 10 years old were selected to detect urinary iodine. Salt iodine was determined using direct titration (GB/T 13025.7-1999);urinary iodine and water iodine were determined using arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry(WS/T 107-2006). Results A total of 600 salt samples were collected, half from Anyang County and half from Tangyin County, the medians of salt iodine were 27.59,29.15 mg/kg,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(Z = - 4.92, P <0.05).A total of 47 water samples were collected,21 from Anyang County and 26 from Tangyin County,the medians of water iodine were 9.44,5.37 μg/L,respectively,the difference was not statistically significant(Z=-0.30, P > 0.05). A total of 985 key people were surveyed, children, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, lactating women and infants were 200, 205, 197, 187, 196, respectively, the medians of urinary iodine were 253.05, 249.80, 177.10, 266.40, 247.85 μg/L, respectively, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=29.76, P < 0.05). Urinary iodine levels of childbearing age women (226.60,313.85 μg/L),lactating women(230.85,286.20 μg/L) and infants (222.35, 275.35 μg/L) were compared between Anyang County and Tangyin County, the differences were statistically significant (Z=3.33,2.21,3.13,P<0.05).Conclusion The iodine nutritional status of rural residents in Anyang City is basically good,but the urinary iodine levels of general population are high.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the iodine nutrition status of school-age children in Anyang,and analyze its related influencing factors.Method Monitoring data on urinary iodine of school-aged children and iodized salt were collected from 2011 to 2015,its general situation was described,and differences in age,sex,residential area type and year were compared.Results Totally 13 371 iodized salt samples were collected in Anyang City from 2011 to 2015,and 12 205 were qualified iodized salt.The median of iodized salt was 26.91 mg/kg.Totally 1 282 urinary iodine samples of school-age children were monitored in Anyang City,and its median of urinary iodine was 237.0 μg/L,the constituent ratio of urinary iodine of children under 100 μg/L and above 300 μg/L was 14.5％(186/ 1 282) and 35.3％ (452/1 282),respectively,the results of urinary iodine were different in different years,and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =36A1,P＜ 0.05);the differences of the residential area type,sex and age had no influence on the urinary iodine of school-age children,and the differences were not statistically significant (Z =-1.07,-0.94,x2 =6.50,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The iodine-nutritional status of school-age children is more than adequate,the concentration of urinary iodine is high,and the differences of the residential area type,sex and age have no influence on the urinary iodine of school-age children.
