Iodine status in pregnancy and household salt iodine content in rural Bangladesh.
Adequate maternal iodine intake is essential during pregnancy for the development of the foetus. To assess the extent of iodine insufficiency and its association with household iodized salt in rural Bangladesh, we measured urinary iodine and household salt iodine content among pregnant women in early (≤16 weeks, n = 1376) and late (≥32 weeks, n = 1114) pregnancy. Salt (∼20 g) and a spot urine s...
متن کاملThe impact of iodised salt or iodine supplements on iodine status during pregnancy, lactation and infancy.
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 groups; so it is uncertain whether iodized salt programs meet the needs of these life stages. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS The method used in this paper was: 1) to estimate the median UI concentration that reflects ad...
متن کاملPerchlorate, iodine supplements, iodized salt and breast milk iodine content.
This study was undertaken to determine if increasing maternal iodine intake through single dose tablets will decrease breast milk concentrations of the iodine-uptake inhibitor, perchlorate, through competitive inhibition. We also sought to determine if the timing of supplementation influences the fraction of iodine excreted in milk versus urine and to compare the effectiveness of iodized salt a...
متن کاملIodine concentration in household salt in South Africa.
OBJECTIVE To determine the iodine concentration in household salt, the coverage of adequately iodized salt, the use of non-iodized agricultural and producers' salt, and the usefulness of salt as a carrier of iodine, and to relate these observations to socioeconomic status in South Africa. METHOD The iodometric titration method was used to analyse 2043 household salt samples collected using a ...
متن کاملIodine content in bread and salt in Denmark after iodization and the influence on iodine intake.
OBJECTIVE To measure the iodine content in bread and household salt in Denmark after mandatory iodine fortification was introduced and to estimate the increase in iodine intake due to the fortification. DESIGN The iodine content in rye breads, wheat breads and salt samples was assessed. The increase in iodine intake from fortification of bread and the increase in total iodine intake after for...
