A study conducted by researchers at Universidad Cientifica del Sur analyzed household consumption of adequately iodized salt in 49 low- and middle-income countries. The study found that 83.4% of households consume adequately iodized salt, with varying rates across different regions. The research emphasizes the importance of public health strategies to increase iodized salt consumption, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women, in order to prevent deficiency disorders.
