Abstract: Objective To study the effect of non-iodized salt on iodine nutrition and hypersensitive thyroid stimulating hormone( sTSH). Methods Recruits who ate the same foods during intense-load training were divided into two groups. The first group consumed iodized salt while the second group non-iodized salt. Medians of urinary iodine (MUI) and sTSH were measured and inquired. Results Compared with non-iodized salt group, the median of urinary iodine(MUI) and sTSH greatly increased in iodized salt group after three months’ training. The level of sTSH was increased with MUI. Conclusions The thyroid function of recruits changes at a high dose of iodine intake during excessive training . The iodine nutrition of the army men should taken into serious consideration.
