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).

It is an honour for me on behalf of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders to introduce this Conference on Iodine and Brain which has been jointly sponsored by NIH through the Fogarty International Center and the ICCIDD. 

This new development of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders is part of a new interest in the problem of iodine deficiency. This is indicated by the recent passage of a Resolution by the World Health Assembly in May 1986, calling for the Prevention and Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, pointing to its feasibility within a 5-10 year period. This resolution was sponsored by Australia and co-sponsored by 22 other countries and was carried unanimously.
