Breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) can be different when median urinary iodine
concentration (UIC) is similar. The BMIC, UIC/creatinine (Cr), estimated 24-h urinary iodine …

There is no scientific consensus on whether breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC)
accurately reflects iodine status in lactating mothers and breastfed infants. This study aimed …

Background Iodine status in populations is usually assessed by the median urinary iodine
concentration (UIC). However, iodine is also excreted in breast milk during lactation; thus …

Iodine deficiency in infants leads to delayed growth and development. Some studies have
reported iodine deficiency among infants and lactating women. We assessed iodine status …

Background In lactating women, iodine metabolism is regulated and maintained by the
kidneys and mammary glands. Limited research exists on how iodine absorbed by lactating …

There is a risk of iodine deficiency among pregnant women in China. However, research on
the iodine status of lactating women and infants is scarce. In this study, we aimed to evaluate …

Background The iodine supply of exclusively breastfed infants entirely depends upon breast
milk. Changes in breast milk iodine affect infants' iodine nutritional status. This study aimed …

Background and Objectives: The present study investigated the iodine status of breast milk
and breast-fed infants during the first 12 weeks postpartum in Tianjin, China. Methods and …

Breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) is a promising indicator of iodine status in lactating
women. However, there are limited data on its usefulness to reflect maternal iodine …

Background Adequate breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) is essential for the growth
and cognitive development of exclusively breastfed infants; however, data on variations in …
