Objective. The association between thyroid nodule (TN) prevalence and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has only rarely been examined in iodine-adequate areas and needs further clarification. We investigated correlations between MetS and TN prevalence in the iodine-adequate area of Hangzhou, China. Material and Method. A cross-sectional study that screened and recruited individuals for cohort research 3 years later. The 13522 subjects (8926 men, 4596 women) were screened in 2009 for all MetS components, thyroid ultrasound (US), and thyroid function. Cohort research recruited 1610 subjects who were screened in both 2009 and 2012, of whom 1061 underwent follow-up research. Results. The prevalence of TN was higher in the MetS (+) group than in the MetS (-) group (χ (2) = 69.63, P < 0.001) and higher in women than in men (χ (2) = 11.65, P = 0.001). Waist circumference (WC) was positively related to the prevalence of TN (OR = 1.022, P < 0.001). Individuals with greater WC in 2009 were more likely to suffer from TN in 2012 (RR = 1.434, P = 0.024). Elevated triglyceride level was a risk factor for developing new TN (RR = 1.001, P = 0.035). Conclusion. Both greater WC and elevated triglycerides are risk factors for new TN in this iodine-adequate area in China.

Exploring Salivary Iodine Concentration as a Biomarker for Iodine Status and Thyroid Nodules in Females From Different Water Iodine Areas: a Cross-sectional Study.
Am J Clin Nutr
July 2024
Key Laboratory of Public Nutrition and Health, National Health Commission of the Peoples' Republic of China, National Institute for Nutrition and Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Background: It is unclear whether salivary iodine concentration (SIC) can assess iodine status in females from different water iodine regions.
Objectives: Through a cross-sectional study, we explored the feasibility of SIC as a biomarker to assess iodine status in females and develop optimal cutoff values.
Methods: A total of 1991 females were analyzed in this cross-sectional study from the coastal iodine-deficient areas (CIDAs), inland iodine-deficient areas (IIDAs), iodine-adequate areas (IAAs), iodine-excess areas (IEAs), and iodine extra-high areas (IEHAs).
Effects of iodine status on thyroid volume and goiter in children living in an iodine-replete area.
Eur Thyroid J

Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: Adequate iodine intake is essential for growing children, and thyroid volume (Tvol) is considered as an indicator of iodine status. We investigated Tvol and goiter using ultrasonography (US) and their association with iodine status in 228 6-year-old children living in Korea.
Methods: Iodine status was assessed using urine iodine concentration (UIC) and categorized as deficient (<100 μg/L), adequate (100-299 μg/L), mild excess (300-499 μg/L), moderate excess (500-999 μg/L), and severe excess (≥1000 μg/L).

Background: The correlation between thyroid autoimmune (TAI) disease and hypothyroidism in the elderly of different ages remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hypothyroidism, including subclinical hypothyroidism (Shypo) and overt hypothyroidism (Ohypo) in those aged ≥65 years from iodine-adequate areas and reveal the correlation between TAI and hypothyroidism in the elderly of different ages.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study involving 2,443 subjects aged ≥65 years from two iodine-adequate areas in China by cluster sampling.
Survey of iodized salt coverage in areas with different water iodine concentrations and the iodine status of local women.

National Health Commission Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition, National Institute for Nutrition and Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, No 155 Changbai Road, Changping District, Beijing, 100050, China.
Purpose: There were only two definitions of iodine-deficient (water iodine concentration < 10 μg/L) and iodine-excess areas (water iodine concentration > 100 μg/L) in China before 2020. Areas with water iodine concentration between 10 and 100 μg/L implement the same policy as iodine-deficient areas to provide iodized salt. The definition of iodine-adequate areas was formulated in 2020 for the first time.

Backgruound: The common reference intervals (RIs) for thyroid hormones currently used in China are provided by equipment manufacturers. This study aimed to establish thyroid hormone RIs in the population of Lanzhou, a city in the subplateau region of northwest China, and compare them with previous reports and manufacturer-provided values.
Methods: In total, 3,123 individuals (1,680 men, 1,443 women) from Lanzhou, an iodine-adequate area of China, perceived as healthy were selected.
