Danish investigation of iodine intake and thyroid disease

Unpublished results from the Danish Investigation of Iodine Intake and Thyroid Diseases before iodine fortification was introduced. Results are median values with 25th and 75th percentiles in parentheses. 

Data from the Danish Investigation of Iodine Intake and Thyroid Diseases based on a FFQ before iodine fortification was introduced in Denmark. Food with a low iodine content was not included, iodine intake from other sources is a little underestimated and iodine from milk, fish and eggs consequently a little overestimated. Rasmussen efa/., (2002). 

Notes. Iodine exoretion in casual urine samples expressed in two ways in 60-65-year-old subjects living in an area with a relatively high intake of iodine (eastern part of Denmark, Copenhagen), before and after iodization. After fortification, the estimated median iodine exoretion seems to be sufficient, while the iodine oonoentration among elderly women appears to be borderline. Unpublished data from the Danish Investigation of Iodine Intake and Thyroid Disease. N, numbers.
