The median urinary iodine concentration (UI) in school-aged children is recommended for

children, it is usually assumed iodine intakes are also adequate in the remaining population,
including pregnant women. But iodine requirements sharply increase during pregnancy. In
this study, our aim was to measure UI in pairs of pregnant women and their school-aged
children from the same family, who were sharing meals, to directly assess whether a …
