Iodine Deficiency Disorders
Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) refers to all of the ill effects of iodine deficiency in a population that can be prevented by ensuring that the population has an adequate intake of iodine
Iodine deficiency at critical stages during pregnancy and early childhood results in impaired development of the brain and consequently in impaired mental function.

Iodine Deficiency Disorders
Early recognition of goitre with impaired mental ability"Hence while travelling in a
certain region in the County Tyrol, under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Gurk, I was astonished at the very large number of madmen, fools and dolts; but when I considered the frigidity and the humidity of the air, and also perceived the crudity of the waters from the very frequent occurrence of goitre... all astonishment ceased entirely."

NINS study Overall, children in mainland Australia are
borderline iodine deficient, with a national median UIE of 104 mcg/L.
On a state basis, NSW and Victorian children are mildly iodine deficient, with median UIE levels of 89 mcg/L and 73.5 mcg/L, respectively. South Australian children are borderline iodine deficient, with a median UIE of 101 mcg/L.
Both Queensland and Western Australian children are iodine sufficient, with median UIE levels of 136.5 mcg/L and 142.5 mcg/L, respectively.
There was no significant association between UIE and thyroid volume.

ENDEMIC GOITRE IN CENTRAL CHINA CAUSED BY
EXCESSIVE IODINE INTAKE
Thyroid status was examined in children from two villages in China where the iodine concentrations in drinking water were 462.5 and 54 μg/1
Goitres were present in 65% (n = 120) and 15.4%
(n=51), respectively.
Children from the high-iodine village had a lower mean serum triiodothyronine and higher serum free thyroxine and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone concentrations than the children from the control village. 2 cases of overt hypothyroidism were detected in the high-iodine village.
TOPICAL IODINE-CONTAINING ANTISEPTICS AND NEONATAL HYPOTHYROIDISM IN VERY-LOW-BIRTHWEIGHT INFANTS: P. Smerdely, S. C. Boyages, et al. Lancet 1989
The thyroid function of very-low-birthweight (VLBW; below 1500 g) infants admitted to neonatal intensive-care units was studied at two hospitals; one routinely used topical iodinated antiseptic agents and the other used chlorhexidine-containing antiseptics.
Serial Urinary iodine excretion rose dramatically in the 54 iodine-exposed infants and was up to fifty times greater than in the 29 non-exposed infants.
Within 14 days, 25% (9 of 36) of the infants exposed to iodine had serum thyrotropin levels above 20 mIU/l, compared with none of the control group.
The mean serum thyroxine level in these 9 infants (44·1 nmol/l) was significantly lower than that in exposed infants with normal thyrotropin levels (83·1 nmol/l) and in the non-exposed control group (83·0 nmol/l), thyroxine levels fell before serum thyrotropin rose.

Changes in biomarker levels of folate status
How much did folate blood levels change after the
introduction of fortification?
What are the challenges associated with assessing
folate status through biochemical measurements?
Serum folate levels have nearly tripled
• Serum folate levels have increased much more than expected from FDA intake modeling and short-term FA supplementation trials – demonstrating the value of biomonitoring.
• Post-fortification serum folate levels have stabilized after several years.

Prevalence of low RBC folate levels has decreased
Red blood cell folate levels have also stabilized after fortification and the prevalence of low levels in women of childbearing age was ~5% compared to ~40% at pre-fortification.

Health Implications
Public health messages required to address high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency
Australians are not adequately supplementing - suitable guidelines are required
Implications regarding frequency and timing of testing
Percentage of households with access to iodised salt
Food Fortification
Eradication of iodine deficiency has always the highest priority.
Optimal prevention of thyroid disease by modification of
iodine intake in the population is achieved by keeping iodine intake in individuals within a relatively narrow interval around the recommended level.
To run an optimal iodization program it is necessary to have information on dietary habits in the population, and on iodine contents of different food items.
Iodine used for enrichment of food should be well distributed in different food items, e. g. by universal or nearly universal iodization of salt. Optimal methods may differ between European countries depending on dietary habits.
Risks of iodisation programmes Sudden increase in the prevalence of
hyperthyroidism Jod Basedow phenomenon
Development of hypothyroidism in those with pre-existing autoimmune thyroid disease Positive anti-TPO antibodies
Change in the pattern of thyroid disease, rise in the prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity
CONCLUSION
Thyroid hormone is essential for normal somatic and neurological development.
Iodine deficiency leads to thyroid hormone deficiency at critical periods of brain development that leads to irreversible neurological damage.
Prevention of iodine deficiency is essential
