Article Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to comprehensively assess goiter endemia in Kuzbass. The spread of goiter was examined in its population. The severity and intensity of goiter endemia were assessed. Its causes and risk factors were revealed. The Kemerovo region was found to be an area of moderate goiter endemia with a tendency for its severity. The wide spread of iodine deficiency in the population, which is associated with low dietary iodine intake, is a cause of goiter endemia in Kuzbass.

Aim of research - to study the iodine supply of the region according to the degree of urinary iodine excretion in the West region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Of 6493 schoolchildren participating in the study of the frequency of goiter, random sampling was applied to select 884 children to determine UIC. To establish the excretion of inorganic iodine in a single portion of urine in the field, express diagnostics, the "Iodine test" kits (manufactured in Ukraine), was applied.

In developed countries, the use of iodised salt represents the best prophylaxis of endemic goitre in areas exposed to iodine deficiency. In the present study we re-evaluated goitre prevalence and iodine intake 10 years after the introduction of iodised salt in an area of goitre endemia in north-eastern Sicily (Italy), and we compared these results with those obtained in previous surveys. Three centres with known moderate goitre endemia (Bronte, Nicosia, and Gagliano) and three other smaller ones with severe goitre endemia (Sperlinga, Villadoro, and Maniace) were studied.

Background: In 1984, Yu Zhiheng proposed the "U-curve" regularity between urinary iodine (UI) and goiter prevalence (GP). However, along with the adjustment of salt iodine and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), and surveys followed, some defects were found in the research. As a result, it is time to test and enrich the theory as a series of large sample survey data from China would be helpful.
