The 36-year-old Ms. Chen received a medical report last week. In addition to the original gallstones, a new thyroid nodule was added. This relatively unfamiliar disease caused Ms. Chen to panic and consulted a circle of colleagues. Many people have this disease, some of them were previously detected, and some of them were just found out. "13 people in the office, 5 people have thyroid nodules, 3 women and 2 men." Ms. Chen said that five individuals are all about 40 years of age, and usually do not feel any discomfort, but after finding out the nodules are all depressed because Whether or not he was worried about the viciousness, a colleague did not sleep well for a week, and finally made a special trip to other hospitals. The result was a benign release. Ms. Chen said that her colleagues consulted some data and all suspect that it was caused by excess iodine. “The old people in Shaanxi love to eat heavy flavors. They eat more salt and put more salt on the outside. The restaurants are also generally salty. Now they sell iodized salt. Is that too much iodine?†Ms. Chen was a little worried. >> Interpretation of a Why should I eat iodized salt? Iodine deficiency in our province was very serious May 15th is the 23rd Iodine Deficiency Day. The theme of this year is "Insist on scientific iodine supplementation and build a healthy China." Is Shaanxi still lacking iodine? Does it still need to eat iodized salt? With a lot of confusion from the public, Dai Hongxing, deputy director of the Provincial Endemic Disease Prevention and Control Institute, said, “Since it is seriously deficient in iodine in the inland environment, iodine deficiency disorders have been very serious in our province. In recent years, the incidence rate has dropped significantly, and both contribute to the iodization of salt. According to the survey, in 1995, according to the National Unified Monitoring Program, the average thyroid enlargement rate of students aged 8 to 10 years in our province was as high as 23.92%, and the qualified rate of iodized salt consumed by residents was only 24.71%, and the population in the province was moderately iodine-deficient. The status was listed as one of the ten worst provinces of iodine deficiency in the country. Since then, after vigorously promoting salt and iodine, in 2010, 107 counties and cities and towns across the province have achieved the national goal of eliminating iodine deficiency. At present, except for the high-iodine ward in Liuji Town, Fuping County, the province is iodine-deficient. Liu Jizhen has a high level of iodine in water, and more than 45,000 people per capita eat non-iodized salt. “There is only one place in the province.†>>Interpretation two How much iodine is added in salt? Three indicator monitoring data Dai Hongxing said whether the salt content of iodine in food is within safe limits, and scientific monitoring data are the final say. To verify whether the iodine content is appropriate, there are 3 indicators, including the acceptance rate of iodized salt in the population of more than 90%; 8-10-year-old students average rate of goiter is less than 5%; children's urinary iodine median is higher than 100μg/L . How to monitor iodine intake? It is understood that the annual monitoring involves more than 30,000 households in more than 500 townships and towns in 107 counties and cities in the province, and monitoring is conducted according to the above three indicators. Each county is divided into five districts: East, West, South, North and Central. Each district randomly selects 1 township, each township randomly selects a primary school, and each school randomly selects 42 students aged 8-10 years, according to local conditions. The diagnosis criteria of goiter are thyroid palpation examinations. On average, more than 20,000 students are screened. Urine iodine tests are also conducted for students and pregnant women. The latest monitoring in 2015 showed that 21,685 cases of children were monitored and 10,724 cases of pregnant women were monitored in the province. This shows that the mean thyroid enlargement rate of children aged 8-10 years is 1.72%, and the median urinary iodine of pregnant women is also within the qualified index. Xi'an monitoring data in 2015 showed that in West Security City, there were 2940 children aged 8-10 years, 37 cases of oncologist, 1.2% of onychomycosis, and 98.98% of qualified iodized salt, all reaching the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency. >> Interpretation of three Is the iodized salt iodine exceeding the standard? In an ultra-appropriate level, within the safety range The current market sales of iodine in iodized salt have been reduced for 4 years. It is understood that after previous monitoring, the population iodine nutrition level is high, in an excessive amount of intake status, therefore, from March 15, 2012, the province lowered the salt iodine content, adopting the national standard of 25 mg per kilogram. Dai Hongxing explained that from an average of 35 milligrams per kilogram, to an average of 25 milligrams per kilogram, is a normal fine-tuning, and does not mean that the past iodine supplementation was excessive in our province. Because the population has a large range of safety for iodine demand, the population of iodine in our province is in an ultra-suitable level, but it is within safe limits. He said that the annual monitoring is very careful and complicated. In recent years, the data show that the province's iodine deficiency disorders such as goiter are in a stable low state, far below the national control standards. This shows that the standard is suitable for the current situation. In other words, except for patients in Liuji Township and hyperthyroidism in Fuping County, residents of other regions should eat iodized salt. "Of course, this standard is dynamic. If the monitoring data changes, we will promptly report the relevant departments, and we will adjust it in due course." He stated that the WHO recommended a median urinary iodine level of 100-300 μg/L. Our province's data is within this value. It is understood that the average daily salt amount of residents in our province is 10 grams, which is higher than the 5 grams recommended by the World Health Organization. As the eating habits become more healthy, if the daily salt amount decreases, the intake of iodine through salt will correspondingly increase. Decrease may also increase the amount of iodide in the salt. “In short, residents still need to adhere to iodized salt for a long time, and this must be made clear.†Dai Hongxing said that people do not have to worry about excessive amounts of iodine in foods because the food supplementation of iodine in our province does not cause any health hazards. The WHO recommends that the daily maximum intake of iodine is 1000 micrograms. Japan is rich in seafood for residents. Daily intake of iodine 1000-3000 micrograms, but the incidence of thyroid cancer is lower than the United States and other countries. Taking the amount of 10 mg of iodized salt per capita per day in our province, regardless of losses in storage and cooking, the daily iodine intake was only 250 micrograms. >> Interpretation of four What happens to normal people who do not eat iodized salt? 3 months brain function will be affected Iodine, as a trace element necessary for the human body, is essential for the growth and development of the human body. Iodine deficiency disease is the general term for a group of illnesses manifested by insufficient iodine intake of the population and lead to iodine malnutrition in the human body. The most important is that iodine deficiency affects the brain development of the fetus, resulting in retardation or permanent impairment of children's mental and physical development. Causes smart damage. Iodine deficiency can also lead to miscarriage, premature birth, congenital malformations, etc. Adults have goiters, decreased physical strength and labor. “Normal people do not eat iodine-added salt for 3 months, and their brain function will be affected, their physical fitness will be reduced, and their life enthusiasm will be reduced.†Dai Hongxing reminded that people should not eat blindly without iodized salt unless it is diagnosed thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism. Patients with other diseases. For these patients, no iodized salt can be purchased from the iodized salt supply point. At present, the salt industry has an iodized salt supply point in each county. Normal people should not blindly eat iodized salt, while thyroid nodules and thyroid glands. Cancer patients still have to eat iodized salt. >> Doubt five Is thyroid disease related to iodized salt? There is no clear conclusion, do not blindly refuse “According to the situation of endocrine outpatient clinics in major hospitals in Xi’an, the number of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer patients has increased significantly in recent years, with an increase of 20% to 30%.†Wang Shujin, director of the Department of Endocrinology at Xi'an No. 9 Hospital, said that the incidence of thyroid diseases worldwide All are increasing, our country is more obvious, the most critical reason is related to the improvement of detection technology, high-resolution detection instruments and the increase of physical examination population. In the past, doctors used palpation to touch, the detection rate is not high, and now there is B-ultrasound, etc. With new technology and methods, the detection rate is very high, and many units have included this item in routine physical examinations and found many patients that have not been discovered before. Can not make a clear conclusion that the increase in thyroid disease and eating iodized salt, only some specific thyroid disease is caused by excessive consumption of iodine, thyroid nodules, the iodine deficiency or excess can cause, so can not blindly refuse Iodized salt. Wang Shujin said that the vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign, less than 1 cm in regular observation, six months of detection of Agong and thyroid color Doppler; more than 1 cm, or sudden growth, pain, etc., and timely treatment. Dai Hongxing said that statistics indicate that 60%-70% of people in the population have nodules. In areas with iodine deficiency, iodine deficiency is the leading cause of nodules. There is currently scientific evidence that the clear causes of nodules include CT, X-ray, mobile phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other ionizing radiation, which is the world's recognized cause of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, especially children are more sensitive. In addition, factors such as obesity, smoking, and heredity also affect the disease. With age, the risk of developing nodules increases. >> Interpretation of six Potassium iodate in iodized salt is toxic? Do not worry about converting to potassium iodide during cooking Some netizens questioned that the addition of potassium iodate in salt is a toxic substance, while the United States and other developed countries added potassium iodide to salt. Dai Hongxing explained that at present, China is actually implementing potassium iodide iodized salt, because potassium iodide is relatively unstable, easy to lose during storage and transportation, and potassium iodate stability is good. In terms of toxicity, according to WHO standards, both are Class III chemical hazards, according to the American Academy of Sciences standards, potassium iodate has mild toxicity. However, due to the extremely slight intake of human body, it is safe to eat food iodized potassium iodized salt through scientific experiments. At the same time, when cooking foods rich in vitamin C such as vegetables, potassium iodide iodized salt will be converted into potassium iodide iodized salt, the public need not worry too much. Expert reminds Remember to put the salt in the end of the cooking and do not fry the iodized salt with the dish Salt is an essential seasoning in life. There are many kinds of salt, the most common is the iodized salt, health food experts have pointed out that eating iodized salt need to pay attention to a lot of things, a little carelessness may make iodized salt harm to health. So, how should iodized salt be used? Experts suggest that the correct use of iodized salt is critical, should pay attention to the preservation of iodized salt, try to iodized salt in a covered container, avoid high temperature and direct sunlight; do not buy too much salt at once, so as to avoid loss of iodine. Since iodine will evaporate when heated, do not put salt first when cooking. In particular, it should be noted that iodized salt must not be added to the hot oil and fried together with the dish. Last salting when cooking will not only reduce the loss of iodine, but also reduce the salt intake. In addition, pay attention to salt, excessive consumption of iodine will also occur goiter, according to China's iodized salt standard, eat about 6 grams of salt per person about 120-180 micrograms of iodine, can fully meet the physiological needs of most adults the amount. It is recommended that pregnant women, lactating women, infants and young children need special supplements such as iodized oil pills or kelp and seaweed. With the growth of age, the elderly's physiological function declines and physical strength decreases. On the one hand, the elderly's knee joint is deformed and unstable, and the wet and slippery bathing area is easy to lead to slipping; On the other hand, for the elderly with heart disease or hypertension, changes in temperature will aggravate the burden on cardiovascular system, which is prone to dizziness and falls.
