ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the iodine nutrition status of Xinjiang childbearing age women, providing the basis for scientific iodine supplement.
MethodsUsing stratified cluster random sampling method, 2 127 respondents were sampled from childbearing women aged 18~52 from 12 counties.The arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry was used to determine urine iodine.
ResultsThe median urinary iodine of 2 127 childbearing age women was 195.0 μ g/L, urine iodine distribution ranged between 120.5 and 282.5 μg/L.The proportion of urine iodine value < 100 μg/L was 17.9%; Urinary iodine between 100~300 μg/L accounted for 62.2%; Urine iodine value above 300 μg/L accounted for 19.8% or more.Comparing urinary iodine value of different age groups of childbearing age women, no statistically significant difference was found (chi-square=0.682, P>0.05).Comparing urinary iodine value of childbearing age women between those regions taking iodine oil pills and not taking iodine oil, the difference was statistically significant (chi-square=0.003, P < 0.01).
ConclusionThe iodine nutritional status of childbearing age women in Xinjiang was at adequate level.Iodine excess risk may exist in taking oral iodine oil pill.It is suggested that we should continue to strengthen the monitoring of the iodine nutritional status in childbearing age women, guide the childbearing age women to scientifically intake the iodine.
