Vegans and vegetarians living in Nottingham (UK) continue to be at risk of iodine deficiency

Abstract: Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. Individuals adhering to vegan and vegetarian diets have been found to be vulnerable to iodine deficiency. Yet, iodine has not been monitored in these groups across time. This study aims to investigate iodine status, intake and knowledge in vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores and determine changes between 2016-17 and 2019. Dietary intake (µg day−1) was estimated by three-day food diaries (FD), and iodine food frequency questionnaires (FFQ). Urinary iodine con… Show more

“…Vegan participants had the lowest median UIC in all 5 studies (12.2 -44.0 µg L −1 ) (34,51,53,56,57) , with the lowest value recorded by Eveleigh et al in UK vegans (12.2 µg L −1 ) (34) . In all studies, vegans had significantly lower median UIC compared to omnivores (P < 0.05) (34,51,53,56,57) .…”

In all studies, vegans had significantly lower median UIC compared to omnivores (P < 0.05) (34,51,53,56,57) . Vegetarians in the included studies tended to have median UIC values greater than vegans but lower than omnivores, flexitarians, and pescatarians (51,53) .…”
