dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Urinary I excretion of pregnant women in Malatya Province, eastern Turkey. Design and setting: A cross-sectional study Was performed on pregnant women in Urban and rural settlements of Malatya Province. Subjects: Urinary I excretion Was measured for 824 pregnant women who were randomly selected using a probably-proportional-to-size sampling methodology. Results: Median urinary I concentration (UIC) of pregnant women was 77.4 mu g/l. The percentage of pregnant women with UIC below 100 mu g/l was 83.3. Conclusion: These results indicate that I deficiency disorders (IDD) is still a problem in Malatya Province and most certainly in other parts of the country. Proper monitoring of I content of the salt sold or used in the area, in order to strengthen the IDD intervention programme, is suggested.en_US
