Methods Zhanhe District of Pingdingshan City was selected and divided into 5 sampling areas according to the east, west, south, north and middle. One township/street was randomly selected in each area, 1 primary school was picked out from each township/street, 40 non-boarding children aged 8-10 years were chosen from each primary school, and 20 pregnant women were singled out from each township monitored. Urine samples from the children and pregnant women and edible salt samples from their homes were collected to detect iodine levels, and B-ultrasound was used to check the thyroid volume of the children. Results A total of 1,505 pieces of iodized salt fromhomes ofthe students and pregnant women were monitored from 2017 to 2021, and the coverage rate of iodized salt, the consumption rate of eligible iodized salt and the qualified rate of iodized salt were 96.21%, 89.77% and 93.30%, respectively. The mean value of iodized salt was (27.54±8.56)mg/kg. 1,005 urine samples from school-age children were detected, and the median of urinary iodine was 149.0 μg/L. 500 urine samples from the pregnant women were detected, and the median of urinary iodine was 146.8 μg/L. The prevalence rate of goiter in the children was 0.25%. Conclusion Iodine nutrition level of the key population in Zhanhe District of Pingdingshan City met the monitoring requirements.
