The prevalence of endemic goiter decreased from 70% in 1998 to 31% in 2016 among the population of Uzbekistan.

The optimal level of iodine consumption in 2014 was 60%, which means there is severe iodine deficiency. As a result of the above data, the purpose of this study was to study the prevalence of iodine deficiency diseases among the population of the Surkhandarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
