Population • Latvia (January 8, 1998): 2,434,469.Ethnic composition (1998): 57.1% Latvian, 29.5% Russian, 4.1% Belarusian, 2.7% Ukrainian, 2.5% Polish, 2.3% Lithuanian, 1.8% others.Riga (January 1998): 790,608. • Citizens: 1,770,355 (72.72% of total population) • Non-Citizens: 646,723 (26.56% of total population) • Foreigners: 17,391 (0.72% of total population)

  4. The definition of the degrees of severity of iodine deficiency (WHO) • Severe < 2,0 g/dl • Moderate 2,0-4,9 g/dl • Mild 5,0-9,9 g/dl • Normal > 10,0 g/dl

  30. ELIMINATION OF IODINE DEFFICIENCY IN LATVIA • To meet iodine requirements, the current recommmended daily iodine intakes necessary: • 50 g for infants (first 12 months of age) • 90 g for children (2-6 years of age) • 120 g for school children (7-12 years age) • 150 g for adults (beyond 12 years of age) • 200 g for pregnant and lacting women Recommended iodine levels in salt and guidelines for monitoring their adequacy and effectiveness, WHO, 1996

  31. Required iodine levels in salt • In order to provide 150 g/day of iodine via iodized salt, iodine concentration in salt at the point of production should be in the range 20-40 mg of iodine per kg of salt. • When all salt used in processed food is iodized, the lower limit (20 mg) is recommended. • Under these circumstances median urinary iodine levels will vary from 100-200 g/l. “Recommended iodine levels in salt and guidelines for monitoring their adequacy and effectiveness”, WHO, 1996
