Iodine deficiency in a population causes increased prevalence of goiter and, more importantly, may increase the risk for intellectual deficiency in that population. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys [NHANES I (1971-1974) and (NHANES III (1988-1994)] measured urinary iodine (UI) concentrations. UI concentrations are an indicator of the adequacy of iodine intake for a population. The median UI concentrations in iodine-sufficient populations should be greater than 10 mu g/dL, and no more than 20% of the population should have UI concentrations less than 5 mu g/dL. Median UI concentrations from both NHANES I and NHANES III indicate adequate iodine intake for the overall U.S, population, but the median concentration decreased more than 50% between 1971-1974 (32.0 +/- 0.6 mu g/dL) and 1988-1994 (14.5 +/- 0.3 mu g/dL). Low UI concentrations (
