ABSTRACT
The endemic goiter, nutritional collective problem due to iodine deficience, constitutes a chronic disease with easy prevention and control, nevertheless still it constitutes a serious problem of public world health, being thought that about 650 million persons have goiter, 43 millions suffer from endemic cretinism and 1570 millions are in risk of suffering this disease for living in areas that present a deficit of iodine. Both patterns, deficit and the excess of iodine can conducted to a thyroid disease. The relation between the ingestion of iodine and the risk of disease corresponds to a U curve, where both, the low one and high ingestion of iodine it is associate to high risk of thyroid disease. To have a program of iodine supplementation, it should imply a constant vigilance of iodine nutrition to see its effect on the goiter prevalence in the population, to control his degree of fulfillment, to avoid a possible excess of ingestion of iodine it might help to correct any precocious alteration. Endemic goiter is not longer a problem in Chile. Salt iodination is in agreement with present legislation, but it is very important to have a continuous surveillance of iodine nutrition in Chile to control if salt fortification is appropiate.
