Table 4 Changes in the ratio of iodine intake to excretion increment (μg/d)

From: Exploration of the lower threshold of iodine intake in Southern Chinese young adults based on ‘overflow theory’ in an iodine balance study

Variables period2(△increment) period3(△increment)
△incrementina △incrementexb ratioc △incrementina △incrementexb ratioc
Male 12.4 -3.2 -0.324 17.7 29.3 1.675
Female 13.0 9.2 0.699 18.5 19.0 1.034
Total 12.8 4.3 0.293 18.2 22.9 1.276
  1. a△incrementin was calculated using the iodine intake of latter stage minus the previous stage; △incrementex was calculated using the iodine excretion of latter stage minus the stage period ; ratio = △incrementex/△incrementin
