ABSTRACT
Children aged 3-6 years undergo a critical stage of growth and development and are irreversibly affected by their iodine status. In order to reveal iodine status in preschool children, we detected iodine concentrations in urine samples from 1382 children aged 3-6 years based on a cross-sectional study. The median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of children was 193.36 µg/L and was 336.96 µg/g·Cr corrected for creatinine. The study developed a link between dietary habits and iodine status, revealing that regular calcium supplement (OR 1.79, (95% CI 1.03, 3.12)) increased deficiency risk, while moderate seafood consumption (OR 0.60, (95% CI 0.38, 0.95)) decreased it. Additionally, modest intake of shellfish (OR 0.58, (95% CI 0.33, 1.00)), vegetables (OR 0.61, (95% CI 0.38, 0.97)), and eggs (OR 0.53, (95% CI 0.30, 0.95)) was found to protect against excess iodine. The findings underline the importance of balanced diets and various nutrients' roles in preschoolers' iodine status.
