The iodine requirements for pregnant and lactating women, how population iodine status can be assessed, the effects of maternal iodine deficiency and excess, and current data regarding efficacy of iodine supplementation for women who are pregnant or lactating
Daily iodine supplementation in mildly iodine-deficient pregnant women had no effect on child neurodevelopment at age 5-6 years and was randomised using mixed-effects models.
There is insufficient good-quality evidence to support current recommendations for iodine supplementation in pregnancy in areas of mild-to-moderate deficiency, and well-designed RCTs, with child cognitive outcomes, are needed in pregnant women who are moderate
Subclinical iodine deficiency persists even in Western Europe, especially among girls and women, being an issue in certain physiological conditions, such as pregnancy and lactation, and in people consuming unbalanced vegetable-based or salt-restricted diets.
Pregnant women in this region of Australia were unlikely to reach recommended iodine levels without an iodine supplement, even after the mandatory iodine supplementation of bread was instituted in October 2009.
Iodine supplementation in pregnancy did not result in better childhood neurodevelopment in this small trial and adequately powered randomised controlled trials are needed to provide conclusive evidence regarding the effect of iodine supplementation inregnancy.
