The objective of this systematic review was to identify studies investigating iodine intake and
biomarkers of iodine status, to assess the data of the selected studies, and to estimate dose …

Background: Biomarkers of iodine status are required to study iodine deficiency disorders in
different parts of the world and to evaluate the effects of fortification strategies. Objective: The …

Context Adequate iodine intake is essential throughout life. Key dietary sources are iodized
salt and animal products, but dietary patterns in Europe are changing, for example toward …

Background: The iodine status of the US population is considered adequate, but
subpopulations remain at risk for iodine deficiency and a biomarker of individual iodine …

Background: Prevalences of iodine inadequacy and excess are usually evaluated by
comparing the population distribution of urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in spot samples …

Background: The urinary iodine concentration (UIC), a biomarker of iodine intake, is used to
assess population iodine status by deriving the median UIC, but this does not quantify the …

Background & aims Iodine fortification is widespread. Systematic monitoring of iodine
fortification programs should be carried out to secure an optimal fortification level. Our aim …

Background: Iodine deficiency is not seen as a public health concern in the US. However
certain subpopulations may be vulnerable due to inadequate dietary sources. The purpose …

Background & aims Few prospective cohort studies have evaluated dietary iodine intake
and urinary iodine concentrations in the general adult population. We assess the evolution …

Background Iodine fortification programs have been applied in many iodine deficient
regions. Iodine excess is also unfavourable, and it is recommended to monitor iodine status …
