THE EVALUATION IODINE DEFICIENCY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

Year 2011, Volume: 5 Issue: 4, 214 - 219, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Aims: Iodine deficiency which may cause mental motor retardation still considered to be an important problem.
Various epidemiologic studies required to identify and dissolve the effects of iodine deficiency for human body.
This study has been undertaken in an attempt to identify the iodine status in school-age children.
Subjects and Methods: In this study; 401 primary school children aged 7-12 years comprised the study group. All
cases were classified in three socioeconomic groups as higher, middle and lower groups. The urinary iodine excretion levels of all cases were determined by spectrophotometric method.
Resuts: The mean urinary iodine excretion level in 401 cases was 7.05±0.48µgr/dl. The lowest mean iodine excretion level was observed in the lower socioeconomic group. Conclusion: In our study we determined mild iodine
deficiency in primary-school-age children In addition, it was observed that the iodine excretion level was affected
by socioeconomic level

İlkokul Çağı Çocuklarında İyot Eksikliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2011, Volume: 5 Issue: 4, 214 - 219, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Amaç: Mental motor geriliğe yol açabilen iyot eksikliği dünya üzerinde halen önemli bir problem olarak yerini korumaktadır. Bu durumun insan vücut sistemlerinde yarattığı negatif etkilerinin saptanabilmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınabilmesi için çeşitli epidemiyolojik çalışmalara gereksinim bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ilkokulçağı çocuklarında iyot durumunu belirlemektir. Olgular ve Metod: Bu çalışmaya yaşları 7-12 yıl arasındaki 401 ilköğretim öğrencisi dahil edildi. Tüm olgular yüksek, orta ve düşük olmak üzere üç sosyoekonomik gruba ayrıldı. Tüm olguların idrar iyot atılımları (İİA) spektrofotometrik yöntemle saptandı. Bulgular: 401 olguda ortalama idrar iyot ekskresyonu 7.05± 0.48 μgr/dl’tu. En düşük ortalama İİA düşük sosyoekonomik gruptu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada ilkokulçağı çocuklarında hafif derece iyot eksikliği ile uyumlu bulgular saptandı. Ek olarak sosyoekonomik düzeyin İİA düzeylerini etkilediği gözlendi.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
