ABSTRACT
This survey has been achieved to evaluate the salat consumption [iodized and non-iodized salt] and the state of iodine nutrition by the assay of the urinary iodine of populations of the region of Rabat-Kenitra. In this work, we analyzed 225 samples of salt and the urinary iodine of 450 subjects. The average age of subjects is 24.3 years [2 - 80 years], of which 52% are maleline sex and 48% of feminine sex. The iodized salt represents 9,8% of all the salt analyzed. The mean iodine content of iodized salt is 32,4 mg/kg [8,5-66,7 mg/kg]. The mean urinary iodine at users of iodized salt is 22,2 mirco g/dl whereas it is 10,8 mirco g/dl for users of non-iodized salt Among all the iodized salt analyzed, no sample answers to the norm [80 +/- 10 mg of iodine/kg] and only 17.8% are compliant to the minimal value required by legislation at the distribution [50 mg of iodine/kg]
