Abstract
ObjectiveTo mater the basic situation of urine volume in Huangfan plain in different populations of Jiangsu Province and to provide a basis for prevention and control of high iodine.
MethodsThe households with drinking water iodine content in 10-150 μg/L in the 18 administrative villages of Guanshan, Suicheng, Taoyuan and Weiji were selected as investigation objects; the urinary iodine median of the four villages was 48.9, 77.9, 97.1 and 111.6 μg/L, respectively. Children 8-10 years old and women 28-49 years old were investigated. For two consecutive days, 24 h urine volume was measured.
ResultsOne hundred and sixty-seven children who were 8-10 years old were investigated. Their urine volume was (775 ± 343) ml for the first 24 h, and was (760 ± 337) ml for the second 24 h. One hundred and sixty-two women who were 28-49 years old were investigated. Their urine volume was (1 368 ± 542) ml for the first 24 h, and was (1 254 ± 487) ml for the second 24 h. The mean urine volume of children was lower than the normal level which is 1 000 ml daily for 6-12 years old children, and the mean urine volume of women was lower than the normal level which is 1 500 ml daily for people over 12 years old and adults (t =-8.450, -9.248,-3.054,-6.393, all P < 0.05). There were differences between children's urine output in different water iodine regions (F = 4.141, 4.116, all P < 0.05), while there was no difference between women's urine output (F = 1.713, 2.160, all P > 0.05). There were 89 boys of the 167 investigated children, and 78 girls. There was no difference of 24 h urine output between boys and girls in the first and second days (t = 1.447, 0.803, all P > 0.05). There were 59 children of 8 years old, 60 children of 9 years old, and 48 children of 10 years old. Children's 24 h urine output of the first day was not different among different age groups (F = 2.184, P > 0.05), but the second day was different (F = 3.477, P < 0.05). There were 65 women younger than 35 years old of the 162 investigated women, 61 women between 35 and 39 years old, and 36 women between 40 and 49 years old. No difference was found in different age groups on the first day and the second day (F = 1.224, 0.734, all P > 0.05).
ConclusionThe 24 h urine output of women and children in Jiangsu Huangfan plain is lower than the average of general population.
