Iodine nutritional status in different trimesters of pregnancy and its association with dietary habits: a prospective observational study in Taiwan
Mild iodine deficiency was observed in the second trimester despite adequate iodine status in the first and third trimesters. Nulliparous women and those not ingesting iodine-containing multivitamins are at greater risk of iodine deficiency, highlighting the need for targeted dietary education and interventions.
