| Özet |
| Iodine is a very important trace element involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are essential for various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism and neurodevelopment, especially during fetal and early childhood. The thyroid gland requires iodine to produce these hormones and both deficiency and excess of iodine can lead to significant thyroid dysfunction and disorders. While iodine deficiency can lead to many diseases such as goiter, hypothyroidism and developmental disorders in children, excessive iodine intake can also disrupt thyroid function and lead to condi-tions such as hyperthyroidism and autoimmune thyroid diseases. Maintaining an appropriate iodine level is critical for preventing thyroid-related disorders and ensur-ing proper growth and development, especially in vulnerable populations such as children. Given iodine deficiency and the associated health risks, it is clear that public health initiatives such as continuous monitoring and iodization of salt are essential. |
