Abstract | In July 1992 we collected samples of daily meals in 51 old people's homes in the Republic of Slovenia to establish their iodine contents. The average content found was 79.6+-31.9 micro g of iodine in the daily meal, or 0.212+-0.083 mg iodine kg-1 dry substance. In oly 15 cases of 51 analysed samples, did the quantity of iodine exceed two thirds of the recommended daily intake of iodine, i.e. mroe than 100 micro g. | |
