Abstract
There is currently great interest in iodine as a micro nutrient. Both high and low intakes have been associated with thyroid cancer incidenc e. Development of dietary iodine monitors is needed to supplement the use of dietary recall methods which have not been well validated for i odine. In this study, 30 pooled urine samples, from ethnic groups on v arious islands in the South Pacific, were analyzed for iodine using ep ithermal instrumental neutron activation analysis (EINAA).
