Iodised salt for preventing iodine deficiency disorders

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2002
Iodine deficiency is the main cause for potentially preventable mental retardation in childhood, as well as causing goitre and hypothyroidism in people of all ages. It is still prevalent in large parts of the world.To assess the effects of iodised salt in comparison with other forms of iodine supplementation or placebo in the prevention of iodine ...

ADEQUACY OF IODISED SALT FOR GOITER PREVENTION*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1941
FOLLOWING THE DEMONSTRATION (1) that colloid goiter could be prevented or cured by use of small doses of iodine given during childhood and adolescence there arose a suspicion that universal use of iodine by the population in the ‘goiter belt’ might be dangerous.

Assessment of status of salt iodisation in Delhi [PDF]

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1999
The National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi was identified as an iodine deficiency endemic area in 1980. The government of NCT of Delhi banned the sale of non-iodised salt since 1989. The present study was aimed to estimate the iodine content of salt consumed in the households of the state. Thirty clusters were selected using population proportionate

Iodine loss from iodised salt on heating

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
Iodine deficiency disorders constitute a major public health problem in India. The national IDD control programme (NIDDCP) relies solely on iodine supplementation through fortification of common salt with potassium iodate. However, data regarding iodine loss due to high temperatures of cooking procedure is scarce. Using iodometric titration methods, we

Iodine losses in iodised salt following different storage methods [PDF]

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000
Iodine retention in three types of iodised salt viz., powdered salt, white crystal and brown crystal salt was estimated at an interval of 15 days following commonly practised storage methods i.e., glass jar with lid, plastic jar with lid, earthernware pot with lid, cut open salt packet and salt pack as it is.

Iodised salt in the UK: a review of its availability and presence in processed foods

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society
There is no salt iodisation policy in the UK, and the majority of iodine intake is from milk and dairy products(1). The availability of iodised table salt in the UK was last investigated in 2009, and was found to be low(2). As table salt contributes only

Rationale for the Importance of Revising the Strategy for Monitoring the Use of Iodised Salt in Armenia

Medical Science of Armenia
Преобладающая доля пищевой соли (70–80%) потребляется через промышленно обработанные продукты питания. Поэтому готовые продукты, приготовленные с использованием йодированной соли, становятся для потребителей основным источником йода.

The challenges of implementing and monitoring of salt iodisation programmes

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Assuring adequate iodine nutrition is key to preventing iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). The primary strategy to assuring adequate iodine nutrition in most populations is through the iodisation of salt. The challenges of implementing and monitoring salt iodisation programmes are described.

Epidemiology of iodine deficiency: Salt iodisation and iodine status

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Universal salt iodisation (USI) and iodine supplementation are highly effective strategies for preventing and controlling iodine deficiency. USI is now implemented in nearly all countries worldwide, and two-thirds of the world's population is covered by iodised salt. The number of countries with iodine deficiency as a national public health problem has

Mandatory iodisation of India's salt ends

The Lancet, 2000
On September 13 the Indian government finally withdrew its 2-year-old order making iodization of edible salt compulsory and statutory. The order was issued in 1998 to prevent iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). Now the order has been withdrawn despite health ministers of most of the Indian states being in its favor.
