Objective To understand the iodine level and iodine nutrition of key population in Renshou District,and to provide basis for improving the working mechanism of sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods From 2018 to 2022,Renshou District was divided into five sampling areas according to the east,west,south,north and middle,and one township or street was randomly selected from each area every year.One primary school was randomly selected from each town or street,40 non-boarding students aged eight to ten were randomly selected from each primary school,and 20 pregnant women were randomly selected from five towns or streets.Salt and urine samples were collected from children's and pregnant women's households and tested for salt iodine and urine iodine content.SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Median(M)and interquartile distance(P25,P75)were used to describe the skewness of measurement data.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between groups,and x2 test was used to compare the differences in composition ratio and rate.Results From 2018 to 2022,a total of 1000 urine samples and home salt samples were collected from children aged eight to ten,and 500 urine samples and home salt samples were collected from pregnant women of 1 500 samples.The iodized salt coverage rate was 100.00%,the qualified rate of iodized salt was 99.80%,and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 99.80%.The median urinary iodine levels in children were 182.10 μg/L,171.00 μg/L,237.10 μg/L,250.50 μg/L and 200.96 μg/L,respectively.The median urinary iodine levels in pregnant women were 109.15 μg/L,101.00 μg/L,140.35 μg/L,244.5 0μg/L and 121.92 μg/L,respectively.Conclusions Renshou County is in a state of continuous elimination of iodine deficiency diseases.The popularization of iodized salt is relatively good,and children's iodine nutrition is maintained at a good level,but pregant women still face the risk of iodine deficiency.In future,it should be focused on improving the working mechanism for the sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders,and the targeted health education on iodine deficiency disorders were carryied out,which will help to raise the awareness of residents on the prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.
