"VANCOUVER, B.C. -- More than one-quarter of fetuses may be at risk for neurodevelopmental deficits resulting from exposure to inadequate iodine in American women during pregnancy. Offie P. Soldin, M.D., said at the annual meeting of the American Thyroid Association.

"Her analysis of data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-III) showed that more than 50% of pregnant women had an iodine intake below the Institute of Medicine's Recommended Daily Allowance of 220 micrograms per day in pregnancy, which corresponds to a urinary iodine level of 150 mcg/L.

"Moreover, more than 25% of pregnant U.S. women had a urinary iodine level consistent with an iodine intake less than one-half the RDA, according to Dr. Soldin of Georgetown University in Washington."
