- W2111662911 abstract "I deficiency is the leading cause of preventable mental retardation. A number of surveys in Afghanistan show goitre prevalence rates more than 20% amongst children and women. Access to iodised salt remains low, with disparate coverage by region, despite the recent implementation of a national salt iodisation programme. The objectives were to identify whether the presence of goitre is a satisfactory marker of I deficiency and to examine the relationship between goitre and thyroid function. A case–control study was carried out in children and women of childbearing age, stratified on the presence of goitre. Adequate levels of urinary I were observed in 6·8% of all the subjects, and amongst the subjects without goitre, this figure was only 9%. The presence of goitre was significantly associated with severe urinary I deficiency; however, the difference between the cases and controls was not as great as expected. An association between the presence of goitre and elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels was observed, but 14% of the children without palpable goitre also showed abnormal TSH levels.Given that the majority of subjects showed some degree of I deficiency and that children without goitre may have elevated TSH levels, the absence of goitre is an insufficient indicator to determine adequate I status. The risk of subsequent development of goitre, in the currently non-goitre population, is elevated. This suggests that short-term I supplementation should be considered independently of the presence of goitre or urinary I level, until the access to and consumption of iodised salt is generalised." @default.
