Nationwide Representative Survey of Dietary Iodine Intake and Urinary Excretion in Postpartum Korean Women

Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones, but excessive iodine intake can lead to thyroid dysfunction. Traditionally, Korean mothers consume brown seaweed soup (<i>miyeokguk</i>), a high source of iodine, after childbirth. There is controversy regarding the effects of excessi...

Traditionally, Korean mothers consume brown seaweed soup (<i>miyeokguk</i>), a high source of iodine, after childbirth. There is controversy regarding the effects of excessive postpartum iodine intake on the health of mothers and infants. Thus far, there have been no nationwide large-scale surveys regarding the status of iodine intake among postpartum women in Korea. Therefore, we conducted a nationwide survey of postpartum dietary iodine intake among Korean women. In total, 1054 Korean women aged ≥19 years, at less than 8 weeks postpartum, participated in this survey. Dietary data were collected using self-reported 2-day dietary records, along with before-and-after meal photos. To evaluate the correlation between dietary iodine and urinary iodine excretion (UIE), spot urine, and 24 h urine samples were collected from 98 and 29 participants, respectively. The mean daily iodine intake among all participants was 2945.6 μg, and it gradually decreased over time after childbirth. Dietary iodine intake was significantly correlated with 24 h UIE (r = 0.396, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and spot urine UIE (r = 0.312, <i>p</i> < 0.05). Follow-up studies are required to examine the influence of excessive postpartum iodine intake on thyroid health in mothers and their infants.Do-Kyung LeeHunjoo LeeHyeyoung LeeTaehyung YoonSeon-Joo ParkHae-Jeung LeeMDPI AGarticledietary iodineurinary iodinepostpartum women<i>miyeokguk</i>Nutrition.
