Health is an integral part of sustainable development, a process that can’t be materialized if there is a high prevalence of diseases, a high percentage of those is due to environmental factors. An important component of health is the healthy nutrition, especially of children and pregnant women. Iodine is an essential micronutrient for a good nutrition that covers the physiological needs of the body, iodine deficiency having important consequences for mother and fetus, then for children, especially in the first years of life. The main role of iodine in the body is due to his importance for synthesis of thyroid hormones involved in growth and development of psychic and somatic body, starting with intrauterine life. Iodine deficiency was, and still is, a public health problem, globally the most affected countries are in Central Africa, central South America and northern Asia. Europe iodine deficiency is relatively lower. Multiple interventions were made to improve and even eradicate iodine deficiency disorders, in particular through the universal iodization of salt for human consumption, but must be supported in continuing efforts because this issue is not fully resolved to this day.

The iodine deficiency negatively affects mental and physical development, and currently concerning about 29.8% of schoolchildren. The efforts of International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD) and national cooperating centers, implementing the iodine prophylaxis, led to a significant improvement in iodine intake. Fifty three of 126 countries presented as areas with a mild or moderate iodine deficiency in 2003, but only 32 of 148 countries are assessed as iodine deficient areas in 2011. The number of people with inadequate iodine intake in Europe is estimated to be about 393.3 million (44.2%). Currently, the main problem of the global iodine deficiency is related to the efficacy of prophylaxis based on the use of iodized salt in face of WHO recommendation on daily salt consumption less than 5g. The biofortification of vegetables with iodine appears to be an efficient counterbalance to the diminishing salt consumption. The iodine deficiency in pregnant women and children is distinctively important, and demands particular prophylactic activities. The continuous monitoring of iodine prophylaxis warrants that the iodine intake in population is adequate.

Niedobór jodu wpływa negatywnie na rozwój psychiczny i fizyczny organizmu człowieka i dotyka obecnie około 29,8% dzieci w wieku szkolnym. Starania Międzynarodowej Komisji ds. Kontroli Zaburzeń z Niedoboru Jodu (International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders – ICCIDD) oraz współpracujących organizacji o zasięgu państwowym, prowadzących profilaktykę jodową, doprowadziły do znacznej poprawy w zakresie spożycia jodu. W 2003 r. w 54 z grupy 126 badanych państw, stwierdzono umiarkowany lub łagodny niedobór jodu, natomiast w 2011 r. tylko 32 (ze 148) badane państwa zakwalifikowano jako obszary niedoborowe. Obecnie główny problem profilaktyki jodowej stanowi zapewnienie właściwego zaopatrzenia w jod w obliczu działań wynikających z rekomendacji WHO w zakresie ograniczenia dobowego spożycia soli do 5 g. Biofortyfikacja powszechnie spożywanych jarzyn wydaje się skuteczną przeciwwagą dla ograniczenia spożycia soli. Ze względu na poważne konsekwencje niedoboru jodu u kobiet w ciąży i dzieci, grupy te wymagają szczególnych działań profilaktycznych. Stały monitoring profilaktyki jodowej gwarantuje utrzymanie adekwatnego spożycia jodu w populacji.
