The results of 16 years iodization: Assessment of iodine deficiency among school-age children in Antalya, Turkey

Conclusion: The comparison of two cross-sectional studies, carried out 16-years interval, shows that Antalya is no longer an iodine deficient region. That said, surveillance studies should be continued and the percentage of iodine deficient and iodine excess individuals in the population should be monitored to avoid emerging problems.
