The Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Iodine Deficiency in Canadian Adults.

Risk Assessment of Iodine Deficiency from Exposure to Environmental Iodine Uptake Inhibitors Figure 2 A confirms that dairy consumption was an important dietary pattern associated with iodine deficiency in the PURE-24USE study ( F = 18.7, p = 1.75 × 10 −5 , n = 725) as compared to 24 h sodium excretion ( F = 16.9, p = 4.47 × 10 −5 , n = 737), and bread and cereal consumption ( F = 1.44, p = 0.230, n = 728); the latter food source of iodine was only marginally significant when comparing iodine deficient vs. iodine sufficient participants in an unadjusted student’s t-test ( p = 0.0551).
