To clarify the relationship between the continually active Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) and environmental selenium level in Chamdo Prefecture of Tibet, samples including drinking water, natural and cultivated soil (0-20 cm), highland barley, tsamba, outsourced rice and flour were collected in Basu County and Luolong County based on their KBD prevalence rate. Total selenium content in each sample was determined and analyzed. The results showed that the environmental selenium level was generally low in Basu and Luolong counties, and the prevalence of KBD was more severe as the selenium contents in drinking water, cultivated soil, highland barley and tsamba decreased. Compared with the results investigated in 2004, the environmental selenium level in light KBD area has been improved considerably. The distribution of KBD is closely related with local environmental factors, especially with highland barley and tsamba, indicating that highly dependence on home-grown grain in KBD areas is the main reason why KBD keeps active. Enhancing the intake of exogenous selenium-rich food is still the basic strategy for controlling and preventing KBD.
