Анализ обеспеченности селеном жителей Монголии по результатам исследований сыворотки крови

Abstract

Selenium status was studied in 2339 Mongolia residents (1101 male and 1238 females) of 18 years old and older who inhabit in Ulaanbaatar and 8 aimags of Mongolia (Dornogovi, Dundgovi, Uvs, Arkhangai, Govi-Altay, Dornod, Sukhbaatar and Khuvsgul) by the level of selenium in blood serum. Concentration of selenium was determined with use of atomic absorption spectrophotometry and fluorimetric methods. Severe selenium deficiency (0,39-0,75 umol/l) was determined for the residents of Ulaanbaatar and for Govi-Altay, Khuvsgul and Suhbaatar aimags, moderate selenium deficiency (0,78-0,98 umol/l) – for the residents of Uvs, Dornod, Dornogovi and Arkhangai aimags. Marginal deficiency of selenium was detected in Dundgovi region (1,14 umol/l). More than 59% of examined residents have severe selenium deficiency, and senior residents had the most expressed risk of selenium deficiency.
