Adequate Urinary Iodine Concentration among Infants in the Inland Area of Norway [PDF]

Nutrients, 2021
Considering the importance of iodine to support optimal growth and neurological development of the brain and central nervous system, this study aimed to assess and evaluate iodine status in Norwegian infants. We collected data on dietary intake of iodine, iodine knowledge in mothers, and assessed iodine concentration in mother’s breast milk and in ...

Urinary Iodine Concentration and Mortality Among U.S. Adults [PDF]

Thyroid, 2018
Iodine deficiency has long been recognized as an important public health problem. Global approaches such as salt iodization that aim to overcome iodine deficiency have been successful. Meanwhile, they have led to excessive iodine consumption in some populations, thereby increasing the risks of iodine-induced thyroid dysfunction, as well as the ...

HPLC Analysis of the Urinary Iodine Concentration in Pregnant Women. [PDF]

Molecules, 2021
Iodine is an essential component for fetal neurodevelopment and maternal thyroid function. Urine iodine is the most widely used indicator of iodine status. In this study, a novel validated ion-pair HPLC–UV method was developed to measure iodine concentration in clinical samples. A sodium thiosulfate solution was added to the urine sample to convert the

Variations in the Urinary Iodine Concentration and Urinary Iodine/Creatinine Ratio among Preschool Children

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2023
Variations in different urinary measurements for evaluating iodine status are concerning to clinicians and researchers. The present study aimed to analyze the interindividual and intraindividual variations in the urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and ...

Prevalence of urinary iodine concentration among school children: in Dessie City, Ethiopia [PDF]

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Urinary iodine is recommended by the world health organization as the main indicator to assess iodine status in a population. Despite this recommendation little is known about urinary iodine concentration in the study area.

Breast Milk Iodine Concentration Is a More Accurate Biomarker of Iodine Status Than Urinary Iodine Concentration in Exclusively Breastfeeding Women [PDF]

Journal of Nutrition, 2017
Background: Iodine status in populations is usually assessed by the median urinary iodine concentration (UIC). However, iodine is also excreted in breast milk during lactation; thus, breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) may be a promising biomarker of iodine nutrition in lactating women.

The Association Between Maternal Urinary Iodine Concentration and Neonatal Anthropometry. [PDF]

Nutrients
Background/Objectives: Iodine deficiency disorders remain a global public health concern, as acknowledged by the World Health Organization (WHO). Adequate maternal iodine intake during pregnancy is essential for normal fetal development, yet the relationship between maternal iodine status and fetal growth remains controversial.

Low Urinary Iodine Concentration among Mothers and Children in Cambodia. [PDF]

Nutrients, 2016
A 2014 national assessment of salt iodization coverage in Cambodia found that 62% of samples were non-iodized, suggesting a significant decline in daily iodine intakes. The Cambodian Micronutrient Survey conducted in 2014 (CMNS-2014) permitted obtaining national data on urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) to assess iodine status and whether iodized ...

Serum thyroglobulin levels are predictive of urinary iodine concentration thresholds for defining population iodine status. [PDF]

Br J Nutr
Abstract Thyroglobulin (Tg) has been considered a measure of iodine status, but there is no global guidance. This analysis examines the relationship between serum Tg and spot urinary iodine concentration (UIC) data to identify Tg concentrations that correspond to current WHO thresholds for population iodine status.
