Table 2.

Urinary iodine concentration (µg/L) and calculated iodine intake (µg/day) for the infants (n = 130). Numbers are presented as median (IQR).

Total
n = 130		 Exclusively Breastfed
n = 56		 Partially Breastfed
n = 46		 Weaned
n = 28
Infant urinary iodine concentration, µg/L 146 (93, 250) 130 (78, 210) 135 (89, 250) 210 (130, 330)
Total habitual iodine intake, µg/day - - 21 (6, 37) a 34 (14, 87)
Total 24-h iodine intake, µg/day 50 (31, 78) 66 (44, 107) 57 (35, 77) 25 (13, 39)

a Includes iodine intake from solid food only, not breastmilk. Habitual intake in exclusively and partially breastfed infants are not calculated due to insufficient data (only one single spot sample of breast milk).
