Résumé
Iodine deficiency is a global public health threat, affecting an estimated two billion people. The median urinary iodine concentration is more reliable in determining recent iodine intakes and the risks of iodine deficiency. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify the factors associated with recent iodine intake level using median urinary iodine concentration as an indicator among household food handlers in southwest Ethiopia. A community-based survey was conducted with selected households using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire in southwest Ethiopia. A 20-gram sample of table salt and a 5 ml causal urine samples were also collected and analyzed using rapid test kit and a Sandell-Kolthoff reaction, respectively. A salt iodine concentration above 15 ppm was classified as adequately iodized and a median urinary iodine concentration between 100 and 200µgl A total of 478 women were included, with a mean age of 33.2 (± 8.4 years). Only 268 (56.1%) of the households had adequately iodized salt (> 15 ppm). The median urinary iodine concentration (interquartile range) was 87.5 µg l Despite public health efforts to improve iodine intake, its deficiency is still a major public health problem among southwest Ethiopian women.

BACKGROUND
Iodine deficiency is a global public health threat, affecting an estimated two billion people. The median urinary iodine concentration is more reliable in determining recent iodine intakes and the risks of iodine deficiency. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify the factors associated with recent iodine intake level using median urinary iodine concentration as an indicator among household food handlers in southwest Ethiopia.
METHODS
A community-based survey was conducted with selected households using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire in southwest Ethiopia. A 20-gram sample of table salt and a 5 ml causal urine samples were also collected and analyzed using rapid test kit and a Sandell-Kolthoff reaction, respectively. A salt iodine concentration above 15 ppm was classified as adequately iodized and a median urinary iodine concentration between 100 and 200µgl
RESULTS
A total of 478 women were included, with a mean age of 33.2 (± 8.4 years). Only 268 (56.1%) of the households had adequately iodized salt (> 15 ppm). The median urinary iodine concentration (interquartile range) was 87.5 µg l
CONCLUSION
Despite public health efforts to improve iodine intake, its deficiency is still a major public health problem among southwest Ethiopian women.
