The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) have defined three degrees of severity of iodine deficiency mild (iodine intake of 50—99p,g/day), moderate (20 9 p,g/day), and severe (<20p,g/day) (WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD, 1994). Severe iodine deficiency was eradicated from many parts of the world, but milder forms stiU exist and may escape detection. Thirty-two European countries were still affected by mild-to-severe iodine deficiency in the late 1990s (Delange, 2002). Turkey is one of these mild-to-moderate iodine-deficient areas (Yordam et ai, 1999).

Iodine deficiency is the primary preventable cause of brain damage and psychomotor development retardation, and hence is a global public health issue. According to the United Nations International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD), approximately half of the worlds population presented some degree of dietary iodine deficiency in 2002 (International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, 2002).
