OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of universal salt iodization (USI) for the control of IDD in Hebei province since it was implemented in 1995, identify the problems currently encountered in the implementation of USI and provide practical proposals for addressing these problems. METHODS Probability proportionate to size sampling (PPS) was employed in the surveillance of IDD, for which a...

Iodine has long been known as an essential element for humans, and for mammals in general, where it is concentrated in the thyroid gland, being a vital component of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Deprivation of iodine results in a series of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the most commonly recognized of which is endemic goiter, a condition where the thyroid gland becomes enlarged in an attem...
