development. There is a lack of information on iodine status in pregnant women and infants …

Iodine sufficiency is particularly important in pregnancy, where median urinary iodine
concentration (UIC) in the range of 150–250 µg/L indicates adequate iodine status. The …

Previous studies have documented mild to moderate iodine deficiency in pregnant and
lactating women in Norway. This study focused on non-pregnant young women because …

Sweden, iodine nutrition is considered to be adequate in the general population. The aim of …

Norway has been considered iodine replete for decades; however, recent studies indicate
reemergence of inadequate iodine status in different population groups. We assessed …

Purpose Median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) is used to describe the iodine status of a
population. However, the link between UIC and iodine intake may vary during pregnancy …

Results: Pregnant women in the Vienna area had a median urinary iodine concentration
(UIC) of 87 μg/l. Only 13.8% of the cohort were in the recommended range of 150–249 μg/l …
