TLDR
Mild iodine deficiency has recurred in Tehranians and the results emphasize the need for continuous monitoring in all regions, even in a country with iodine sufficiency.Abstract:
Background: Production of iodized salt in Iran for household consumption began in 1990. Previous studies have reported sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders in Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the iodine nutritional status in Tehran in 2009. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 383 Tehranian households were enrolled through randomized cluster sampling and a total of 639 adult subjects (242 men and 397 women), aged 19 and over, participated. A 24-hour urine sample was collected for measurement of urinary iodine, sodium, and creatinine concentrations using the digestion method, flame photometry, and autoanalyzer assay, respectively. Salt intake was estimated and iodine content of household salt was measured by titration. Results: Median (interquartile range) iodine content of household salt and urinary iodine concentration (UIC) in Tehran were 21.2 (3.2–31.7) parts per million and 70.0 (34.0–131.2) μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in 24-hou...read more

Iodine nutrition status in lactating mothers residing in countries with mandatory and voluntary iodine fortification programs: an updated systematic review.
Pantea Nazeri,Parvin Mirmiran,Niloofar Shiva,Yadollah Mehrabi,Mehdi Mojarrad,Fereidoun Azizi +5 more
TL;DR: Although universal salt iodization is still the most feasible and cost-effective approach for iodine deficiency control in pregnant and lactating mothers, UIC in lactating Mothers of most countries with voluntary programs and in areas with mandatory iodine fortification is still within the iodine deficiency range, indicating that iodine supplementation in daily prenatal vitamin/mineral supplements in lactates mothers is warranted.

TL;DR: In a cross-sectional epidemiologic study of 4680 men and women aged 40–59 years from 17 diverse population samples in China, Japan, UK, and USA, prior hypotheses on relations of macronutrients to SBP/DBP and on role of dietary factors in inverse associations of education with BP are tested.
