“…In 1993, the prevalence of goitre in Bangladesh was 47.1%, cretinism 0.5%, and sub-clinical iodine deficiency (low urinary concentration of iodine <100 µg/L) 69% (32). The latest Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) Survey showed that the prevalence of goitre among 6-12 years old children was 6.2%, and it was 11.7% among women aged 15-44 years (33).…”

Although child and maternal malnutrition has been reduced in Bangladesh, the prevalence of underweight (weight-for-age z-score <-2) among children aged less than five years is still high (41%). Nearly one-third of women are undernourished with body mass index of <18.5 kg/m 2 . The prevalence of anaemia among young infants, adolescent girls, and pregnant women is still at unacceptable levels. Despite the successes in specific programmes, such as the Expanded Programme on Immunization and vitamin A supplementation, programmes for nutrition interventions are yet to be implemented at scale for reaching the entire population. Given the low annual rate of reduction in child undernutrition of 1.27 percentage points per year, it is unlikely that Bangladesh would be able to achieve the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal to address undernutrition. This warrants that the policy-makers and programme managers think urgently about the ways to accelerate the progress. The Government, development partners, non-government organizations, and the academia have to work in concert to improve the coverage of basic and effective nutrition interventions, including exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding, supplementation of micronutrients to children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women, management of severe acute malnutrition and deworming, and hygiene interventions, coupled with those that address more structural causes and indirectly improve nutrition. The entire health system needs to be revitalized to overcome the constraints that exist at the levels of policy, governance, and service-delivery, and also for the creation of demand for the services at the household level. In addition, management of nutrition in the aftermath of natural disasters and stabilization of prices of foods should also be prioritized.

“…In our study the prevalence of goitre was 28.13%, of which grade 1 goitre was 21.96% and grade 2 goitre was 6.17%. Three major surveys -the than East Pakistan Nutrition Survey of 1962-64, the National Goitre Prevalence Study of 1981-82 and the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Survey in Bangladesh-1993 showed prevalence rates of goitre in this country to the extent of 20%, 10.5% and 47.1% respectively 5 .

A total of 551 subjects were studied, 363 males and 188 females in some villages in Sirajgonj. The purpose of the study was to unravel the relation of goitre to intake of iodized-salt, mustard oil and cabbage. In our study the prevalence of goitre was 28.13%, in which the goitre of grade 1 and grade 2 was 21.96% and 6.17% respectively. In our study males were suffering more than the females. In this study goitre prevalence in those taking iodized salt was 28.57% and in those taking non-iodized salt was 28.05%. It is wonder to note that after more than two decades of enacting iodized salt more than 80% took non-iodized salt and even then the prevalence of goitre in the two groups were almost identical, with utter surprise goitre prevalence was more in those who took iodized salt. In this study goitre prevalence in those taking mustard oil was 28.6% and in those taking non-mustard oil was 24.14%. Goitre prevalence was much more in those who took mustard oil than those who took non-mustard oil. In this study goitre prevalence in those taking cabbage was 28.12% and in those taking non-cabbage was 28.21%.KYAMC Journal Vol. 5, No.-2, Jan 2015, Page 524-526

To determine the relation between iron deficiency and the status of thyroid hormones in iron deficient patients. This case control study was done in the Department of Biochemistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), during July 2006 to the June, 2007. Iron deficiency patient was considered as case a healthy control subject was considered as control. A total of 80 subjects were selected for study from those who were attended in out patient department of the above mentioned hospital were enrolled in this study. The mean (±SD) age of case and control were 33.48±11.03 years and 35.40±12.30 years with the range of 16-60 years and 15-60 years respectively. Male female ratio was 1:1.6 in the whole study subjects. Hemoglobin concentration, serum ferritin concentration were significantly (p<0.05) higher in control group but serum TSH level was significantly (p<0.05) higher in case group, however, serum FT3 was almost similar between case and control groups. In iron deficient patients, serum ferritin had no significant negative correlation (r=-0212; p>0.05) with serum TSH and no correlation with serum FT4 concentrations and serum FT3 concentration which were (r=0.055; p>0.05) and (r=0.147; p>0.05) respectively. In control subjects, serum ferritin revealed that there was significant negative correlation (r=-0.337; p<0.05) serum TSH. However, serum ferritin with serum FT4 concentration and serum ferritin with serum FT3 level showed no statistically significant correlation which were (r=0.283; p>0.05) and (r=0.145; p>0.05) respectively. On the other hand, there were no significant (p>0.05) correlation of hemoglobin concentration and serum ferritin with serum TSH, free T3 and free T4 concentrations both in case and control group. There were no significant (p>0.05) difference among serum TSH, free T3 and free T4 concentrations between male and female in both groups. Serum TSH level was significantly (p<0.05) higher in iron deficient patients and no significant negative correlation, serum ferritin level.
