Total diets were colleted from 106 locations for children and adult males by a duplicate portion study. Iodine was rapidly determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after chemical separation. Iodine concentration on a dry basis for Ukrainians was 0.11 [mu]g g-1 and the daily iodine intake was in the range of 2.80-372 [mu]g per person. The median, geometric mean, and standard deviation were 28.1, 32.7, and 2.51 [mu]g, respectively. The yearly trend of the intake had almost no change. Regional differences would be expected to exist among the 10 areas of the Ukraine, but no clear differences appeared in the present findings. Daily iodine intake in Ukrainians was lower than the recommended dietary intake (RDI) allowance (150 [mu]g), and its lack would be related to the high prevalence of goiter in the country.}, pages = {11--15}, title = {Dietary iodine intake in residents of northwestern regions of Ukraine contaminated by the Chernobyl accident}, volume = {90}, year = {2006} }
