Abstract

Introduction: Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) can lead to health issues as it is necessary for metabolic functions. This study investigated the iodine content of commonly consumed salt and the potential impact on daily iodine requirements and IDDs.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was employed using multistage cluster sampling among 240 households, dividing them into eight clusters from four stratified areas. The sampled salts were analyzed using the World Health Organization's iodometric titration method.

Results: The study revealed that most salt samples from the studied brands had an iodine content within the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) recommended range of 20-50 ppm, with two exceptions. The study found that most socioeconomic groups in cities, towns, and semirural areas meet their daily iodine requirements at over 100%. At the same time, many rural homes, regardless of income, fail to meet these requirements. However, the study found iodized salt in 97.9% of all surveyed households. Although 48.3% of unions, that is, rural respondents, was knowledgeable about the existence of iodized salt, 66.7% of respondents was not aware of the health benefits of iodized salt. Surprisingly, 63.3% of the town's household members and 61.7% of the rural population still consume raw salt. Additionally, 79.6% of individuals reported having no IDDs. However, only 44.2% of thyroid patients used iodine supplements.

Conclusion: Although salt usage and consumption practices are satisfactory, there are still a few concerns about the 100% iodization of branded and raw salts. As a result, many households need help to satisfy their daily iodine requirements.

常用食盐中碘浓度的测定及其对家庭消费者的潜在影响:食用食盐的检验与评价。
碘缺乏症(IDD)可导致健康问题,因为它是代谢功能所必需的。本研究调查了常食用盐的碘含量及其对每日碘需要量和碘缺乏量的潜在影响。方法:采用多阶段整群抽样的横断面调查方法,从4个分层区将240户家庭分为8个整群。使用世界卫生组织的碘量滴定法对样品进行了分析。结果:研究显示,大多数食盐样品的碘含量在孟加拉国标准和检测机构(BSTI)建议的20- 50ppm范围内,只有两个例外。该研究发现,城市、城镇和半农村地区的大多数社会经济群体的每日碘需求量超过100%。与此同时,许多农村家庭,无论收入如何,都无法满足这些要求。然而,该研究发现97.9%的被调查家庭都有加碘盐。尽管48.3%的工会,即农村应答者知道加碘盐的存在,但66.7%的应答者不知道加碘盐的健康益处。令人惊讶的是,该镇63.3%的家庭成员和61.7%的农村人口仍在食用生盐。此外,79.6%的人报告没有idd。然而,只有44.2%的甲状腺患者使用碘补充剂。结论:尽管盐的使用和消费习惯令人满意,但品牌盐和生盐的100%加碘仍然存在一些问题。因此,许多家庭需要帮助来满足每日的碘需求。
