Background. In the Russian Federation (RF), the problem of iodine deficiency(ID) remains in. Major ongoing events are regional program. In our opinion it is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness and suggestions for improvements of preventive measures if necessary. Aims — to analyze the dynamics of the main epidemiological indicators of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in children, adolescents and adults population of the RF, sing the figures in the statistical form № 63 «Information on diseases related to micronutrient deficiency» and the statistical form №12 «Data on number of diseases registered at patients, living in area of medical service of medical institutions» (retrospective study), to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures for elimination of ID and formulate possible solutions. Material and methods. It have been analyzed the main epidemiological indicators of IDD among children (0—14 years), adolescents (15—17 years) and adult (18 and older) population of the RF for the period 2009—2015. For the assessment of the key epidemiological indicators was constructed a linear regression model, calculated the slope of the trend line (k-factor; a quantitative expression of the dynamics of prevalence/incidence), using Student’s t-test assessed the significance of k: were considered reliable (presence of speakers) at the level of p value p<0.05. Data processing was performed using Microsoft Excel 2010, R (version 3.2.3). Results. Latest analytical data on the prevalence and incidence of IDD has shown that despite preventive actions, the problem IDD is still remaining, as evidenced by the increase in the prevalence and incidence of IDD. The downward trend in the prevalence and incidence of some IDD is likely to be associated with the implementation of regional programs for the prevention of IDD. Also challenges and successes in managing ID in RF highlighted, given some normative-legal acts related to salt iodization. Conclusions. Formulate practical proposals to improve preventive measures to prevent the development of IDD.
