Objective: To determine the prevalence of insufficient iodine intake in pregnant women.
Materials And Methods: The search was performed in the electronic databases Medline (PubMed), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) and Scopus. Review studies, experimental studies, those with adolescent pregnant women (< 20 years) and iodine supplementation were excluded. The selection followed the steps of identifying the articles in the databases, deleting the duplicates, and reading the titles, abstracts, and then the entire article. The search for the articles occurred in September 2017, using the descriptors "pregnant" and "iodine deficiency" NOT "supplementation" in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Results: Thirteen articles were included, the deficiency prevalence ranged from 16.1% to 84.0%, and the median of iodine intake was insufficient in 75% of the studies. There is no classification for mild, moderate or severe levels of iodine deficiency in pregnant women, which makes it impossible to know the real dimension of the problem.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of insufficient iodine intake in pregnant women, observed worldwide, shows the need for a population classification in order to direct public policies. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2019;63(3):306-11.

The Children's Memorial Health Institute, Department of Pediatrics, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, 04-730 Warsaw, Poland.
: We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate whether children receiving long-term parenteral nutrition (LPN) are at risk of imbalances in selected trace elements. : Serum levels of manganese, zinc, copper, selenium, and iodine were measured in 83 children on LPN and compared with 121 healthy controls. Children with signs of infection or elevated C-reactive protein levels were excluded.

Iodine is a key micronutrient essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormone, which regulates metabolic processes and maintains overall health. Despite its importance, iodine deficiency is a global health issue, leading to disorders such as goiter, hypothyroidism, and developmental abnormalities. Biofortification of crops with iodine is a promising strategy to enhance the dietary iodine intake, providing an alternative to iodized salt.

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.
The Role of the Parametric Thyroid Feedback Quantile Index in Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation Among Euthyroid Koreans.

Department of Internal Medicine, Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital, Gyeonggi-do, 18450, South Korea.
Context: Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in metabolic regulation and maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. The Parametric Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index (PTFQI) assesses central thyroid hormone sensitivity by standardizing the inverse relationship between free thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Objective: To investigate the relationship between PTFQI and cardiovascular risk in the euthyroid Korean population.
Association between dietary mineral intake and new onset diabetes/pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis.

Department of Gastroenterology, The Affiliated Hospital to Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
Background And Aims: As the main type of pancreatic diabetes, patients with new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis are often difficult to manage and have poor prognosis. This study aimed to figure out the association between dietary mineral intake and glucose metabolism with chronic pancreatitis.
Method: The study included 114 patients with chronic pancreatitis, who were grouped based on the sequence of onset for chronic pancreatitis and diabetes: normoglycaemia after chronic pancreatitis (NCP), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and new-onset diabetes or pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis (NODCP).
