KARNATAKA

A total of 980 salt samples were collected at beneficiary level from 25 districts included in the study. It was found that only15.8% of the population was consuming salt with the stipulated level of iodine i.e. 15ppm and more (Table I)

 

The district-wise distribution of iodine content of salt is depicted in Table II. It was observed that  54.4% of the families were consuming  iodised salt with 5 ppm and more iodine. The districts of Gulbarga, Tumkur, Bellary, Davangeree, Hassan, Kappal, Kolar, Haveri and Bijapur had more than 90% of the families consuming salt with iodine content of less than 15ppm  (Table VI).

 

A total of 403 salt samples were collected from  traders level. It was observed that only 36.0% of the samples of village level and 44.6% of the district level traders had iodine content of 15ppm and more   (Table VII).

 

The details of each district in which survey was conducted has been  depicted in Table VIII. It was found that on an average salt samples were collected from 18 villages (range: 5-30) from each district. The district level sensitization meeting on health consequences of iodine and benefits of iodised salt was conducted in 14 out of 25 districts.

 

Table IX depicts the district-wise distribution of  UIE levels. It was found that districts Gulbarga, Bellary, Davangeree, Kolar, Bijapur, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu and Shimoga had median UIE less than 100.0 μg/l. Also in majority of the districts (6/8) more than 20% of the samples had UIE levels less  than 50.0 μg/l indicating deficient iodine nutriture in the population included in the survey. In these districts, more than 60% of the families were consuming iodised salt with less than 5 ppm of iodine, except Bellary (44.7%), Kolar (50.0%) and Bijapur (37.4)% .
