A cross-sectional study was conducted in remote hilly areas (Shree Antu and Ranke) of eastern Nepal to assess iodine status among school children aged 6-12 years. Urinary iodine excretion was estimated in 292 urine samples. The median urinary iodine excretion was 187.52 ug/L, and 33.6% children have insufficient urinary iodine excretion.

Background: Adequate maternal iodine intake is important for fetal brain development. Based on iodine intakes of non-pregnant females of reproductive age from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2016 -2017) it can be extrapolated that most pregnant females in Canada will not meet iodine requirements without supplementation.
Objectives: To assess iodine intakes of 500 pregnant, nulliparous females from Québec, Canada and report on use of multivitamin/mineral (MVM) supplements and coverage of iodized salt.
