High Iodine Urinary Concentration Is Associated with High TSH Levels but Not with Nutrition Status in Schoolchildren of Northeastern Mexico

According to the Iodine Global Network, Mexico is considered a country with adequate national iodine intake (297 mg/L), but some regions have not been studied. We aimed to evaluate urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and its association with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and the nutritiona...
