Epidemiology of iodine deficiency
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1992Iodine deficiency (ID) causes goiter, cretinism, neonatal hypothyroidism, irreversible mental retardation, and child and infant death. Over one billion people are at risk, most of them in developing countries. While ID is the primordial factor in these conditions, other environmental and host factors significantly modify the magnitude and clinical ...

Iodine Deficiency and the Brain
Nutritional Neuroscience, 1999The effects of iodine deficiency on growth and development are known as the iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs). Most common is goitre at all ages, but most significant are the effects on brain development during pregnancy. The major effect of iodine deficiency is the clinical syndrome of endemic cretinism characterised in its fully developed form by ...

Epidemiology of iodine deficiency
Minerva Medica, 2017Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) produced by the thyroid gland. Iodine deficiency impairs thyroid hormone production and has adverse effects throughout life, particularly early in life as it impairs cognition and growth.

Iodine deficiency and nutrition in Scandinavia
Minerva Medica, 2017Iodine nutrition is a result of geological conditions, iodine fortification and monitoring strategies within a country together with the dietary habits of the population. This review summarizes the basis for the current iodine situation in the Scandinavian countries in order to identify gaps in knowledge, determine necessary future steps, highlight ...

Iodine is an essential trace mineral, required for the production of thyroid hormone. Iodine deficiency may result in goiter, hypothyroidism, miscarriage, stillbirth, congenital anomalies, infant and neonatal mortality, and impaired growth. Adequate thyroid hormone is critically important for normal growth and neurodevelopment in fetal life, infancy ...

The Fetus and Iodine Deficiency: Marmoset and Sheep Models of Iodine Deficiency [PDF]
, 1989 Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) are a major international public health problem (1). The effects of iodine deficiency occur at all ages, but are particularly important during the period of fetal development. The available epidemiological evidence has been complemented by experimental studies of fetal development in animal models.

Iodine (atomic weight 126.9 g/mol) is an essential component of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones, and therefore iodine, are essential for mammalian life (1). The native iodine content of most foods and beverages is low, and the most commonly consumed foods provide 3–80 μg/serving (1).

The Disorders Induced by Iodine Deficiency
Thyroid, 1994This paper reviews present knowledge on the etiology, pathophysiology, complications, prevention, and therapy of the disorders induced by iodine deficiency. The recommended dietary allowances of iodine are 100 micrograms/day for adults and adolescents, 60-100 micrograms/day for children aged 1 to 10 years, and 35-40 micrograms/day in infants aged less ...

Iodine is a trace element present in the human body in minute amounts (15-20 mg in adults, i.e. 0.0285 x 10(-3)% of body weight). The only confirmed function of iodine is to constitute an essential substrate for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, tetraiodothyronine, thyroxine or T4 and triiodothyronine, T3 (1).

Severe iodine deficiency is defined as a goiter prevalence greater than 30 % and/or a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of less than 20 μg/L in a given population or defined geographical area. The adaptive processes of the thyroid gland may be unable to compensate for this degree of iodine deficiency, leading to manifestations which include ...
