Association of serum selenium with thyroxin in severely iodine-deficient young children from the Amhara region of Ethiopia
2016
Overview
SUBJECTS/METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, Se, thyroid-stimulating hormone, total thyroxin, total triiodothyronine and thyroglobulin in serum of children (N = 628) 54-60 months of age from the Amhara region, Ethiopia, were analyzed. In addition, iodine in urine and household salt was analyzed, and the presence of goiter was assessed. N = 449) of children had UIC below the recommended value (100 µg/l). In addition, 59.8% (N =310) of children were severely iodine deficient (UIC < 20 µg/l). Only 12.7% of salt samples had iodine. Goiter was present in 44.6% (N =280) of the children. Seleniumdeficient children had higher serum thyroxin ([T.sub.4]) than children with normal serum Se concentration (P < 0.001).
