摘要
Introduction: Uttarakhand (UK) state is a known endemic region for Iodine deficiency. Objective: To assess iodine nutritional status among adolescent girls in districts: Udham Singh Nagar (USN), Nainital (N) and Pauri (P) of UK state. Methods: In each district, 30 clusters (schools) were identified by using population proportionate to size cluster sampling. In each school, 60 girls (12-18 years) attending the schools were included. Total of 5430 girls from USN (1823), N (1811) and P (1796) were studied. Clinical examination of thyroid of each girl was conducted. From each cluster, spot urine and salt samples were collected. Results: Total goiter rate was found to be 6.8% (USN), 8.2% (N) and 5.6% (P). Median urinary iodine concentration levels were 250 mu g/l (USN), 200 mu g/l (N) and 183 mu g/l (P). Conclusion: Findings of the study documented that adolescent girls had adequate iodine nutritional status in the three districts of UK.
