¿Es suficiente la nutrición de yodo en la población infantil española? Revisión histórica y situación actual / Is iodine nutrition in the Spanish pediatric population adequate? Historical review and current situation

El yodo es un componente esencial de las hormonas tiroideas y su déficit es la causa principal de retraso mental prevenible en el mundo. España ha sido considera yododeficiente hasta 2003. A pesar de que desde 2004, la yoduria está en rango óptimo, la OMS reconoce que no se cumplen los requisitos necesarios para garantizar que la población no pueda sufrir un trastorno por déficit de yodo. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una revisión de la situación nacional de este micronutriente. Los datos obtenidos en diversos estudios destacan el bajo consumo domiciliario de sal yodada. A pesar de los avances conseguidos en las últimas décadas, los niños españoles no están exentos de sufrir un trastorno por déficit de yodo. Es necesario, por tanto, implementar políticas que permitan controlar la nutrición yódica así como impulsar el consumo de sal yodada de manera universal

Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones, and iodine deficit is the leading cause of preventable mental retardation worldwide. Spain was considered iodine-deficient until 2003. Although iodine urinary levels have been in the optimal range in Spain since 2004, the WHO recognizes that our country does not meet the necessary requirements to ensure that the whole population is not at risk of an iodine deficiency disorder. The aim of this article is to review the current iodine status in Spain. Data from several studies emphasize the low consumption of iodized salt at home. Despite the progress made in recent decades, Spanish children are not exempt from suffering an iodine deficiency disorder. Policies that allow for controlling iodine nutrition and promote universal consumption of iodized salt should therefore be implemented
