Method: According to the requirement of "The Eleventh Five Years' Plan" Project (Study on application of prevention technique of IDD in Xinjiang), random sampling was carried out. Results: Median of iodized salt of residents in Akto county was 32.4 mg/kg. There was statistical difference in coverage rate of iodized salt and intake rate of qualified iodized salt in residents in 2009 compared with those in 2014 (χ<sup>2</sup>=4.59, <i>P</i><0.05). In 2009, 60 samples of urinary iodine of the pregnant women were detected with median of 352 μg/L, and the samples less than 100 μg/L accounted for 6.67%, while there were 48 samples of the pregnant women in 2014, and 29.17% of the samples were less than 100 μg/L. Two hundred and forty-four children aged 8 to 10 years were examined by palpation. The coincidence rate was 73.6% between the palpation and B-ultrasound examination, and there was statistical difference (<i>P</i><0.01) in goiter rate of children by palpation (χ<sup>2</sup>＝83.06) and B-ultrasound (χ<sup>2</sup>＝25.03) between 2009 and 2014. The difference in urinary iodine of children was also significant between the two years (t=5.65, P<0.005). Conclusions: Although the goiter rate of children basically has reached the standard of eliminating in akto county, but iodine deficiency of children and pregnant women is still exists. Therefore, universal iodized salt is a simple, safe and effective measures for control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/906.jpg)
