摘要
Background:Iodine deficiency disorders(IDDs)refer to a series of diseases caused by the human body's insufficient iodine intake.Edible salt became iodized in China in 1996,which yielded remarkable results.We have known that IDDs is associated with iodine in the human body,but it is not clear whether IDDs is related to medical resource level.Methods:We collected the number of IDDs cases and an index for the level of medical resource from 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government in China.All data came from the China Statistical Yearbook of Health and Family Planning issued in 2013 by the Peking Union Medical College Publishing House.Data standardization and linear regression analysis were used.Results:The results showed that IDDs correlated with the number of beds in medical and health institutions,number of medical health personnel,number of medical and health institutions,total health expenditure,average health expenditure per capita,medical insurance for urban resident and new rural cooperative medical rural residents(P<0.01).In a multiple linear regression,IDDs was most significantly associated with the number of beds in hospitals,the number of rural health personnel,the number of basic medical and health institutions and government health expenditure for these institutions. Conclusion:Based on the experimental data,we concluded that IDDs had a positive connection with the medical resource level,and basic and rural areas had a more significant association with IDDs.This analysis provides new and explicit ideas for iodine prevention and control work in China.
