PhD Oral Defense of Karim Bougma, School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition
Almost 40% of children under five years of age in low- and middle-income countries do not reach their full developmental potential, and iodine deficiency is among the main risk factors. Universal salt iodization is the recommended strategy to tackle iodine deficiency disorders, but its effectiveness in improving development of young children has not been assessed. We evaluated the effects of iodized salt on the mental and physical development of children under 30 months of age in Ethiopia.
