Over two billion people worldwide are at risk for the spectrum of
disorders known as "The Iodine Deficiency Disorders." 1-10% will
suffer cretinism; 5-30% will have some sort of brain damage or
neurological impairment and 30-70% will be hypothyroid.
The causes of iodine deficiencies can be considered from both
simplistic and more complex perspectives: From the leaching of
iodine from soil resulting in crops with low iodine content to
malnutrition resulting in impaired iodine absorption. Poor dietary
diversification and impoverished socio-economic development can
also lead to iodine deficiencies.
Although it is possible to diagnose and treat deficiencies, there
is still an ongoing dialogue regarding the detailed molecular
pathology of iodine homeostatis, how hypothyroidism impacts the
body tissues, and efficient diagnosis and treatment of the Iodine
Deficiency Disorders.
This Handbook provides a resource of information on the various
pathways and processes based on different countries or diseases.
Because there is a constant flow of new information on iodine and
related disorders, the goal of this Handbook is to provide a base
of scientific information upon which additional knowledge can be
applied.
Key Features:
*Provides important information on one of the most common
micro-nutrient deficiencies in the world, the most important
"single nutrient-multiple consequences" paradigm today
*Includes information on iodine-related diseases, including those
that are common, preventable and treatable
*Provides insight from a broad perspective of viewpoints -- from
subcellular transports to economic impact
