In spite of the works performed against IDD, it still remains severe in Uzbekistan. Epidemiological studies performed in 1998 and 2004 demonstrated that endemic goiter prevalence in children constituted 72,8% and 58,8 %, respectively. Progress to lower iodine deficiency was due to the activities to liquidation of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) including supply with iodizing equipment and supplementation with potassium iodate. The law of Republic of Uzbekistan “Prevention of iodine deficiency disorders” was adopted in May 2007. Current publication demonstrates iodine deficiency level, in accordance with WHO recommendations with sentinel method, in Uzbekistan. It has been revealed that goiter prevalence decreased to 40,2%. Population consuming iodized salt and population having normal ioduria values increased 62,4 % и 63,7 %. Thus we demonstrated that iodine deficiency disorders in Uzbekistan decreases although remains on severe level.
