Context: The WHO Technical Consultation recommends urinary iodine concentrations (UIC)
from 250 to 499 μg/L as more-than-adequate iodine intake and UIC≥ 500 μg/L as excessive …

Results: Median UIC in second trimester was 84 μg/l (range 18–522) and 80% had UIC
below recommended level (< 150 μg/l). Iodine-deficient women had higher concentrations of …

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormone and optimal foetal neurological
development. Pregnant women living in borderline or moderate‐severe iodine deficient …

ObjectiveTo determine iodine intake and urinary iodine excretion (UIE) in a group of
pregnant Thai women and the concentration of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in their …

Purpose This survey aimed to assess iodine status in a female population at different ages,
also investigating their eating habits. Methods We measured urinary iodine concentrations …

Objectives: Monitoring of iodine status during pregnancy, lactation and infancy is difficult as
there are no established reference criteria for urinary iodine concentration (UI) for these …

Dietary iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Breast-fed infants are
reliant on maternal iodine intake. The aim of this study was to evaluate iodine sufficiency in …

Background Historically, Iceland has been an iodine-sufficient nation due to notably high
fish and milk consumption. Recent data suggest that the intake of these important dietary …

The main changes in thyroid function associated with the pregnant state are increased
thyroid hormone requirements. These increased requirements can only be met by a …

Objective Mild iodine deficiency has re‐emerged among school girls in the UK. We wished
