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

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.
