Résumé : | Mild iodine deficiency (MID) is endemic in Belgium. Previous surveys, which assessed iodine nutrition in Belgium, focused on children. The iodine status of adults and the influence of ethnicity or seasonality on urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) have not been investigated. Since the nutritional profile of children differs from that of adults, we may anticipate similar differences in iodine status. Seasonal fluctuations in UIC have also been reported from other MID regions. |
