Article Synopsis
- Iodine is a crucial trace element for human health, particularly for metabolism, growth, and mental development, with iodine deficiency still present in some parts of Europe; iodised salt can help combat this issue.
- A survey conducted on university students in Germany and Greece found that around 41% of German students and 37% of Greek students reported using iodised salt at home, with no significant differences in usage based on age, gender, or body mass index.
- Knowledge about iodine and nutrition was linked to increased usage of iodised salt, suggesting that improving education on nutritional information could enhance awareness and consumption of iodised salt among young adults.
