Journal ArticleDOI
Preventive Zinc Supplementation among Infants, Preschoolers, and Older Prepubertal Children:
TL;DR: The available evidence supports the need for intervention programs to enhance zinc status to reduce child morbidity and mortality and to enhance child growth and the possible strategies for delivering preventive zinc supplements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of serum zinc concentration as an indicator of population zinc status.
TL;DR: Serum zinc concentration can be considered a useful biomarker of a population's risk of zinc deficiency and response to zinc interventions, although it may not be a reliable indicator of individual zinc status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indicators of zinc status at the population level: a review of the evidence.
TL;DR: This review outlines steps to estimate the prevalence of inadequate intakes, and confirm their validity based on the EARs set by International Zinc Nutrition Collaborative Group, and the appropriateness of serum zinc as a biochemical marker for population zinc status.
Journal ArticleDOI
New reference values for thyroid volume by ultrasound in iodine-sufficient schoolchildren: a World Health Organization/Nutrition for Health and Development Iodine Deficiency Study Group Report

TL;DR: These new international reference values for Tvol by ultrasound can be used for goiter screening in the context of IDD monitoring, and suggest that population-specific references in countries with long-standing iodine sufficiency may be more accurate than is a single international reference.
