To the question of the study of iodine deficiency condition in children in the region of the Southern Aaral region

The article presents the results of a study of iodine deficiency in children in the Southern Priaralie region. It was established that the prevalence of iodine-deficient conditions in girls is higher - 68.8%, than among boys, 31.2%. This is probably due to the fact that in girls the excretion of iodine reliably exceeds that in boys.
