Abstract

Iodine deficiency is one of the nutritional problems the country is facing at present. It encompasses a spectrum of effects dating from conception, through fetal life, neo-natal period and childhood to adulthood. The most common and visible manifestation of iodine deficiency is goitre. The latest report showed that the population of India exposed to endemic goitre may be about 170 million and it is predicted that by 2000 A.D. it may reach around 200 million.
