Evidence Needed to Inform the Next Dietary Reference Intakes for Iodine

Abstract: In 2001, Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for iodine were set for the different gender and life-stage groups by the Institute of Medicine. Because of the serious consequences of iodine deficiency for the developing fetus and infant, there is particular interest in further understanding optimal iodine nutrition and improving the monitoring of iodine status, particularly during infancy, pregnancy, and lactation. This review discusses the basis for the current DRIs for iodine and the evidence that may be needed f… Show more

“…The WHO cut-off value for median UIC at 100 µg/L assumes a mean daily urine volume of 500 mL in infants and 92% iodine bioavailability [33], which corresponds to a mean daily intake of at least 55 µg [30,33]. Several studies have pointed out the need for more extensive research to define an estimated average requirement in infancy [30,[35][36][37].…”

“…The recommended nutrient intakes of 150 μg/day and tolerable upper intake level of 1000 μg/day (equivalent to approximately 2.5 and 16.7 μg/kg.BW, respectively) for adults meet needs and prevent excess intake [11,12]. In this study, the low, medium, and high doses of iodine were set at 25, 166.7, and 500.1 μg iodine/kg.BW, respectively, which is 10 times of recommended nutrient intakes and 10 times and 30 times of upper intake level.…”

“…Infants are born with minimal thyroidal iodine stores (5) and are entirely dependent on dietary iodine, making them particularly vulnerable to low iodine intakes (1,(5)(6)(7)(8). However, data on the daily dietary iodine requirement at this critical age is limited (1,6,(9)(10)(11).…”

“…Assessment of iodine intakes in populations should be based on the estimated average requirement (EAR) and not on the AI (10,12,16,18). Quantitative data are urgently needed to define an EAR in infancy, and this has been highlighted as a research priority (10,11). Moreover, a well-defined EAR would allow 1 Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (project number 320030_160342) and the ETH Zurich.…”
