Twenty-four hour urinary iodide excretion was measured twice, with a four month interval, in 133 individuals who were in a 12-month salt-restriction study in an area where iodine-deficiency goitre was once common and where most household salt is iodised. Half the subjects were salt restricted; their mean 24 h sodium excretion after eight months was 89 mmol for men and 73 mmol for women. Iodide excretion correlated with sodium excretion in the whole group on each occasion. After eight months mean 24 h iodide excretion in the salt-restricted group (men 1.3 SD 0.6 mumol, women 1.1 SD 0.4 mumol) was lower (p less than 0.01) than that in the control group (men 1.8 SD 0.8 mumol, women 1.7 SD 0.8 mumol), but was reasonable in terms of recommended dietary allowances (1.2 mumol, 150 mg). Mean iodide content of local milk was 1.3 mumol/l. Any salt that is used in the home should continue to be iodised. However, it has become unnecessary in this population to use salt (ie, iodised salt) simply in order to avoid iodine deficiency, so long as other foodstuffs continue to contain iodine as at present. As the other sources of iodine may be subject to change, the adequacy of intake of iodine from these sources should be monitored from time to time in samples of the population.
