评估尼日利亚阿南布拉州某些选定人口的碘状况
作者(年代):Ifeyinwa Chidiogo Olife, Benedette Azuka Anajekwu, Agwu Kama Onuogbu该研究旨在确定阿南布拉州Oba和Nanka社区选定人群的碘状况,并评估他们患碘缺乏症(IDD)的风险。碘主要通过尿液排出,少量通过粪便和汗液排出。尿碘排泄占总摄入量的75-90%,因此是公认的评估碘状态的方法。测定了两个社区中选定的学龄儿童和育龄妇女的尿碘水平。结果表明,欧巴地区学龄儿童尿碘平均浓度为170.65±27.17µg/L,明显高于南卡地区学龄儿童尿碘平均浓度(156.12±16.48µg/L) (p<0.05)。然而,在两个社区中,女性的平均尿碘浓度没有显著差异。在中国、美国、瑞士、巴布亚新几内亚和印度等国家,广泛的膳食补充规划(通常以添加碘油、碘盐或灌溉用水加碘为基础)成功地降低了缺碘症的发病率。现在人们普遍认识到,实现实际消除缺碘症的最有效方法是普及食盐碘化。通用食盐碘化涉及所有人类和牲畜食盐的碘化,包括食品工业中使用的食盐。所有盐的适当碘化将在持续和自我维持的基础上向人口提供所需数量的碘。 Therefore, the levels of iodine in salt samples purchased fromlocalmarkets in the two communities were determined. The results showed that the levels of iodine in salt samples fromObamarket ranged from7-30ppmwhile the levels of iodine in salt samples from Nanka market ranged from 0- 30ppm. One teaspoon of iodine is all a person requires in a lifetime and yet its deficiency at critical stages of fetal life and early childhood remains the worldÂs single most important and preventable cause of mental retardation.
