Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare levels of thyroglobulin and thyroid disease prevalence in pregnant Chinese women with differing urinary iodine concentrations (UICs), specifically between those with UIC of 100-149 µg/L and 150-249 µg/L.
- A total of 812 healthy pregnant women participated, providing samples of urine, blood, and household salt during routine check-ups, and their thyroid function and iodine levels were analyzed.
- Results indicated no significant differences in thyroid morphology or disease prevalence between the two UIC groups, suggesting that a UIC of 100-149 µg/L does not lead to worse thyroid health compared to a higher iodine concentration.
