Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency significantly increases hyperthyroidism risk in older adults. Severe deficiency gravely impacts infant brain development, necessitating balanced iodine intake to prevent disorders without causing harm.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Public Health Nutrition
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis.
  • Iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) remain a global health concern.
  • Thyroid function and health are sensitive to iodine intake levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the health consequences of varying iodine intake levels.
  • To determine optimal iodine intake for preventing IDDs while avoiding adverse effects.
  • To inform public health strategies for iodine supplementation.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative epidemiologic studies in low and high iodine intake regions.
  • Controlled studies on iodine supplementation efficacy and safety.
  • Analysis of health outcomes related to iodine status.

Main Results:

  • Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency is linked to high hyperthyroidism rates in elderly women, causing cardiac issues, osteoporosis, and goiter.
  • Severe iodine deficiency poses grave risks to fetal and infant brain development.
  • Excessive iodine intake may increase autoimmune hypothyroidism and complicate Graves' disease management.

Conclusions:

  • Correcting mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency is crucial for public health.
  • Iodine intake should be optimized to prevent deficiency disorders without exceeding safe levels.
  • Targeted surveillance and uniform iodine supplementation strategies are needed to maintain adequate intake across populations.
