Urinary iodine excretion levels amongst schoolchildren in Haryana.

Abstract:

:This study was conducted in 2006 to assess the current iodine nutriure of the population in Haryana by assessing the urinary iodine excretion levels amongst the school age children between 6-12 years. Altogether 3,019 urine samples were collected from all the 19 districts in Haryana. The urinary iodine was analyzed by using wet digestion method. Less than 1 % of children had urinary iodine excretion levels below 20 mcg/L. Percentage of children with urinary iodine concentration 21-50 mcg/L, 51-99 mcg/L, and 100 mcg/L were 0.8%, 6.2% and 92.6% respectively. We conclude that the Universal Salt Iodization program is being successfully implemented in the state as the population has adequate iodine status at the time of the survey.
