ABSTRACT

A transição alimentar e nutricional promoveu mudanças significativas no padrão alimentar da população. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os teores de sal e sódio ofertados no almoço de um restaurante universitário, de acordo com as recomendações da Organização Mundial de Saúde e Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira. Como resultados verificou-se que o per capita de sal obtido para o almoço foi de 4,76 g (95,2 % da recomendação diária da OMS e do Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira). A média de sódio de todas as preparações ofertadas no almoço foi de 1.877, 24 mg de sódio (93,86 % da recomendação diária segundo a OMS). Concluiu-se com o estudo que os teores de sódio encontrados nas preparações do almoço do restaurante universitário foram superiores à recomendação do Guia Alimentar para a população brasileira e da OMS.

ABSTRACT

Brazilian legislation, since 1955, failed to achieve its objectives because the issue was not properly addressed: iodized salt was only available in endemic areas, at a low amount of 10 mg Iodine/kg salt. Lack of surveillance and cooperation were common errors. From 1982 to 1992, the INAN distributed potassium iodate to the industry free of charge, but it was abolished in 1991. Only four years later (1995) was a new law enacted effective in determining that all salt for human use should be iodized at levels established by the Health Authorities. During the period comprising 1998 to 2004, excessive iodination of salt (40 to 100 mg/kg) could lead to an increased prevalence of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and iodine-induced hyperthyroidism. In 2003, the content of iodine/kg of salt was lowered to 20 to 60 mg I/kg salt. A national survey of schoolchildren is currently underway and will indicate the changes required for adequate iodine in salt for human use.


A legislação para corrigir deficiência crônica de iodo no Brasil iniciou-se em 1955. O sal iodado seria distribuído somente em áreas endêmicas de bócio, com dose fixa de 10 mg Iodo/kg de sal. Na década de 1982 a 1992, o Instituto Nacional de Alimentação e Nutrição assumiu o Programa Nacional para a Deficiência Crônica de Iodo e forneceu o iodato de potássio a todos os produtores de sal. Em 1992, o INAN foi dissolvido. Nova legislação foi promulgada em 1995. A Anvisa ficou encarregada de supervisionar o teor de iodo em amostras de sal. No período de 1998 a 2004, o teor de iodo no sal foi elevado para 40 a 100 mg I/kg de sal. O excesso nutricional de iodo na população possivelmente aumentou a prevalência de tireoidite de Hashimoto e hipertireoidismo. Inquérito epidemiológico nacional (PNAISAL) em escolares, em execução, indicará as futuras determinações para a adição de iodo no sal.

ABSTRACT

Thirty primary schools were selected in district Kangra utilizing the population proportionate to size cluster sampling methodology in the year 2004. A total of 6939 children were included in the study. The clinical examination of the thyroid of each child was conducted. On the spot casual urine sample and salt samples were collected from a 'sub set of' children included in the study. The Total goiter rate (TGR) was found to be 19.8%. The median Urinary iodine excretion level was 200 microg/l and only 64% of the salt samples had the stipulated level of iodine. The findings of the present study revealed that current iodine status of population is adequate, however, TGR showed mild iodine deficiency (chronic) and there is a need of continued monitoring the quality of iodised salt provided to the beneficiaries under the Universal salt iodisation programme in order to achieve the goal of elimination of Iodine deficiency disorders from district Kangra.

ABSTRACT

Diversos estudios han demostrado un predominio significativo del cáncer papilar del tiroides en áreas geográficas donde la población ha estado sometido a alta ingestión de yodo. Por el contrario, en áreas con baja ingestión existe una proporción relativamente alta de cáncer folicular. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la frecuencia relativa del cáncer papilar y folicular en los períodos previo y posterior a la yodación de la sal. Mediante un diseño descriptivo retrospectivo se analizan 238 registros anatomopatológicos de pacientes portadores de cáncer diferenciado del tiroides, tratados quirúrgicamente en el departamento de Cirugía del Hospital San Juan de Dios entre 1988 y 1999. La información se recolectó según una encuesta diseñada de acuerdo con los objetivos del estudio. Se realizó un análisis estadístico y se compararon los resultados con los de un trabajo previo (8) (prueba Z). Resultados. Se encontró un 87,9 por ciento de cáncer papilar y un 12 por ciento de cáncer folicular. Hubo un aumento significativo del cáncer papilar con respecto al período previo a la yodación de la sal(46,2 por ciento). No hubo un cambio significativo en la distribución por sexo. Ambas variedades histológicas predominan en el grupo etario > o = a 40 años. En cuanto a la extensión anatómica en el cáncer papilar se encontró un aumento en la frecuencia de la variedad oculta con respecto al período anterior. Se obtuvo un aumento significativo de la variedad invasora de cáncer folicular con respecto al período previo. Discusión: las poblaciones estudiadas son comparables. El cambio observado en la distribución del cáncer diferenciado del tiroides estaría influenciado por la yodación de la sal, con un aumento de la frecuencia del cáncer papilar de tiroides

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To find out whether iodised edible salt available for sale to the public is iodised, iodination is within the Sri Lanka Standards Institute (SLSI) specifications and the labelling is accurate. DESIGN: 38 packets of iodised salt from 11 different brands were randomly purchased from retail outlets in 5 different areas and analysed for iodine content, crystal size and label information. RESULTS: All 38 packets were iodised but the iodine content in 68.6% of the packets were outside the range stipulated by the SLSI. In 52.8%, the mean iodine content was above the recommended upper limit of 40 ppm and in 15.8% below the recommended lower limit of 20 ppm. Only 31.6% of the packets were within the accepted 20 to 40 ppm range. None of the labels had all the required information. CONCLUSIONS: Legislation enacted in 1993 stipulates that all edible salt sold for human consumption should be iodised. Our study shows that more stringent measures should be adopted to ensure that manufacturers and importers of iodised salt conform to the required specifications.

ABSTRACT

Background: although endemic goiter is an easily controlled chronic disease, it continues to be a serious global public health problem. Aim: To study iodine nutrition in school age children from different areas of Chile. Subjects and methods: Thyroid gland was palpated in 4181 school age children from Calama, Santiago, Temuco and Punta Arenas. Urinariy iodine excretion was measured to 9 percent of these children and iodine concentration in salt for human consumption obtained in each of these areas was determined. Results: A 9 percent goiter prevalence in boys and 11 percent prevalence in girls was detected. The prevalence of goiter Ia was 6.5 percent and the figure in different geographic areas was similar. Iodine concentration in salt for human consumption was adequate according to Chilean legislation (82.6, 95.7, 96.8 and 93.2 ug ugI/g salt in Calama, Santiago, Temuco and Punta Arenas respectively). Urinary iodine excretion in boys and girls was 1695 and 1802 ug l/g creatinine in Calama, 680 and 732 in Santiago, 574 and 690 in Temuco, 570 and 528 in Punta Arenas. These values are well above recommendations. Conclusions: Endemic goiter is no longer a problem in Chile, the importance of a continuous surveillance of iodine nutrition in Chile and the reduction of salt iodine concentration required by Chilean legislation is underscored
