Iodized Salt Intake and Goiter Reduction: A Study in a Small Population of Southern Italy - Abstract
Salt iodization is recommended by the WHO as a strategy to eradicate iodine deficiency disorders [1]. The second survey on iodine nutrition performed by the Italian National Observatory for Monitoring Iodine Prophylaxis (OSNAMI) at the Italian National Institute of Health (years 2015–2019) showed that 71% of the Italian families used iodized salt and reported goiter reduction in schoolchildren (11–13 years) [2,3].
