Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to monitor iodine nutrition in Switzerland in order to inform the authorities regarding iodine content in iodized salt. As a proxy for the entire population the investigators will study school aged children, pregnant women and women of reproduction age.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In a national sample of school aged children (n=990), pregnant women (n=700) and women of reproductive age (n=700) urinary iodine will be determined in order to assess iodine nutrition in Switzerland. In addition, in both groups of women a blood sample will be taken for the determination of thyroid hormones, iron- and folate status. Questionnaires will be used for the determination of dietary iodine and salt intake as well as sociodemographic parameters.
