20 Μαΐ 2016 · The median and interquartile range iodine concentration in salt was 2.9 mg/kg (IQR: 2.4-3.7). The results show that only 25 % of households use iodized salt. The recommended iodine concentration in salt of 15–40 mg/kg was met only in 4.5 % of salt samples. The bulk salt is used by 8 % of households.
The semi-quantitative estimation of the salt iodine by using a rapid test kit (RTK) is based on the reaction between starch and iodine to form starch-iodine complex. This test solution contains an acidic buffer and a reducing agent, which convert potassium iodate (KIO 3) to elemental iodine (I 2).
17 Ιουν 2024 · Fortunately, iodine deficiency is easy to treat, as long as it is diagnosed properly. You can try a preliminary test for yourself at home using the iodine patch test, but for a conclusive diagnosis, you will likely need to get a blood or urine test as well as an assessment from a doctor.
The main indicator adopted to track universal salt iodization has been the coverage of adequately iodized salt in households. Rapid test kits (RTK) have been included in household surveys to test the iodine content in salt.
21 Νοε 2013 · Iodine (in the form of iodide) is added to table salt to help prevent iodine deficiency. Since the 1980s there have been efforts to have universal salt iodization.
A laboratory test, gold standard iodometric titration method was used to measure individual availability of adequately iodized salt. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify factors associated with the content of iodine.
4 Δεκ 1996 · Based on this information, this document summarizes current WHO, UNICEF and ICCIDD recommendations concerning iodine levels in salt, risk of associated iodine-induced hyperthyroidism, and requirements for monitoring both iodine status and adequacy of iodine levels in salt.
