Iodine deficiency during pregnancy: a national cross-sectional survey in Latvia

Application of povidone-iodine at delivery significantly increases maternal urinary iodine but not neonatal thyrotropin in an area with iodine sufficiency
TLDR
Application of PVP-I significantly increased UIC in postpartum mothers; however, thyrotropin concentration in neonates, whose mothers had adequate UIC, was within the normal range.

TLDR
Urinary iodine concentration monitoring among schoolchildren and pregnant women and neonatal thyrotropin registry analysis every five years would be an appropriate strategy for maintaining iodine intake within the interval that prevents iodine deficiency disorders.
Knowledge of the Importance of Iodine in Nutrition among Adults in Latvia
TLDR
While iodised salt is used rarely, public awareness about the role of iodine is good and potential iodine deficiency in Latvia is likely due to unbalanced diet rather than lack of knowledge.

Seasons but not ethnicity influence urinary iodine concentrations in Belgian adults

Seasonal fluctuations in UIC suggest that the risk of iodine deficiency among adults living in Brussels is higher in fall-winter than in spring-summer, and ethnicity does not appear to influence iodine status.
