“…The intake of milk, dairy products, eggs, iodized salt and the use of supplements have previously been reported to be positively associated with iodine status [ 23 , 31 , 32 ]. In this study, there was no significant association between dietary factors and iodine excretion.…”

Iodine Status among Somali Immigrants in Norway

et al. 2018

We lack knowledge about iodine status in the Norwegian population in general, and particularly among immigrants. We aimed to estimate the iodine status and potentially associated factors in a Somali population in Norway. Somali men and women aged 20–73, who were living in one district in Oslo, were recruited between December 2015 and October 2016. Twenty-four-hour urine was collected from 169 participants (91 females and 78 males). Iodine was analysed using the Sandell–Kolthoff reaction on microplates and colorimetric measurement. Information about diet was collected using a short food frequency questionnaire. Iodine intake was calculated from the 24-h iodine excretion. The mean urine volume over 24-h was 1.93 liters (min–max: 0.55–4.0) and the urinary iodine concentration (UIC) varied from 13 to 263 µg/L with a median value of 62.5 µg/L indicating a population with mild iodine deficiency. The median daily iodine intake for the study population was estimated to be 124 μg/day. Mean serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) was 2.1 (SD 1.1) mU/L, 15.0 (SD 2.1) pmol/L, and 5.1 (SD 0.6) pmol/L, respectively. No food groups were associated with iodine intake and neither was gender, age, education level nor length of residence in Norway. In conclusion, this study showed that iodine intake was low, and a considerable proportion of the Somali population studied had sub-optimal iodine status. Monitoring of iodine status should be prioritised and measures to ensure adequate iodine intake, particularly among vulnerable groups initiated.

“…There have been a few publications examining the impact of the iodine fortification programme on the UIC of Australian and New Zealander communities (Depaoli et al, 2012;Skeaff and Lonsdale-Cooper, 2012;Baxter et al, 2011). One small study has been conducted in pregnant women (n = 86) during the period of introduction of the fortification programme and reported an insufficient MUIC (96µg/L) (Rahman et al, 2011).…”

“…Published surveys of prefortification UIC of Melbourne adults offer a useful baseline for this purpose. 10 The Australian Health Survey 2011-2013 is measuring UIC in adults and children across Australia, and we anticipate this will provide further evidence of the iodine status in the Australian population.…”

Improved iodine status in Tasmanian schoolchildren after fortification of bread: a recipe for national success

Iodine status in Tasmania can now be considered optimal. Mandatory iodine fortification has achieved significantly greater improvements in population iodine status compared with voluntary fortification. However, surveys of schoolchildren cannot be generalised to pregnant and breastfeeding women, who have higher iodine requirements. Measurement of iodine status in population surveys is warranted for ongoing monitoring and to justify the appropriate level of fortification of the food supply into the future.
