ABSTRACT
A cross sectional survey was conducted in the year 2001, to establish the current status of iodine nutriture and level of salt iodisation in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. All the 23 districts were included. The data was collected in each district through school approach. A total of 3706 salt samples and 1952 casual urine samples were collected. Nearly 45% of the population was found to be consuming iodised salt. All the districts had adequate iodine nutriture except Rangareddy and Cuddapah. The districts which were earlier found endemic to iodine deficiency namely Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Godavari, Khammam, Adilabad and Warrangal were found with adequate iodine nutriture as reflected by median UIE level of more than 100 microg/L. The study revealed success of salt iodisation program in the state.
