Correction of iodine deficiency states and dynamic modeling of positive dynamics of indicators of thyroid functions by supplementation

Abstract

The problem of iodine deficiency diseases (IDD) is recognized as relevant due to the significant prevalence of iodine deficiency among the population of many countries of the world, an increase in the incidence of diseases with a wide range of clinical manifestations and a marked tendency to increase the frequency and severity of IDD among children of all age groups We carried out a clinical-anamnestic examination of the child’s contingent (187 persons) aged 13–17 years living in an ecologically dependent biogeochemical endemic zone of iodine deficiency, the mountain region of the Zakarpattya region during the period from 2014 to 2015. To identify the pathology of the thyroid gland, a palpatory method of examination was used according to the methodology of the WHO/MRKIDZ, 2001. According to our data 80 pupils (42.8 %) had increased thyroid gland of 1 degree, they were allocated for further and detailed examination and identification of environmentally caused somatic effects. Preventive measures included taking the dietary supplement Yosen, the manufacturer of TOV “OmniFarm”, TU U 10.8-35758392-004: 2014 for 6 months. A statistical model for forecasting the dynamics of TSH with supplements with iodine and selenium has been developed. According to our data, the degree of positive changes (decrease of TSH, increase of T4) with supplements with iodine and selenium depends on the starting content of the microelement of iodine in plasma and/or urine: the lower is the initial level of iodine – the more pronounced is the effect of supplements.
