Iodine Status in Pregnant Women Having Urinary Fluoride in Contaminated Areas: A Case Study of Phayao Province

Table 8

The range, prevalence, and interpretation of UIC in pregnant women (N = 152).

Ranges of UIC	N (%)	Interpretation
<150.00 μg/L	96 (63.16)	Iodine deficiency
150.00–249.00 μg/L	29 (19.08)	Adequate iodine
250.00–499.00 μg/L	27 (17.76)	Excessive iodine

Mean = 138.66 μg/L, geometric mean = 108.38 μg/L, median = 112.25, from minimum to maximum = 18.40–429.50 μg/L, subject UI levels, and 2.5th to 97.5th percentiles = 26.90–409.60 μg/L. , the range of UI based on [23]; the range of UI than 150.00 μg/L in pregnant women may be insufficient. The range of UI in pregnant women between 150.00 and 249.00 μg/L is adequate. The iodine intake between 250.00 and 499.00 μg/L = iodine intake in pregnant women is more than adequate.
