ClinConnect Summary
The Jodkids study is looking at how changes in iodine levels in our food affect children between the ages of 2 and 10. Iodine is an important nutrient that helps with healthy growth and development, but too much or too little can be harmful. This trial aims to see how the increased iodine added to foods since 2019 has impacted what children eat and how much iodine is found in their urine.
To participate, children need to be between 2 and 10 years old and healthy, meaning they should not have any long-term illnesses that affect how their body processes iodine. Families will be asked to fill out some questionnaires about their child's diet and health. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you think your child may qualify, it’s a great opportunity to help researchers understand more about iodine intake in children!
