“…Pontes et al [22] analyzed quantitatively the amount of iodine present in salt samples from the residencies of 180 schoolchildren and observed that no sample contained more than 60 mg iodine/kg salt [7]. Nevertheless, data from the Brazilian Association of Salt Extractors and Refiners (ABERSAL, 2008) have shown that the mean daily salt intake of Brazilians represents double the amount (12.34 g/day) [8] recommended by the Brazilian Society of Hypertension, which is 6 g salt/ day or 100 m Eq sodium [23].…”

“…In Brazil, since 1953, there have been policies for the iodization of salt for human consumption in order to promote adequate consumption of this nutrient by the population [7,8]. In 2003, the National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA in the Portuguese acronym) established a norm for iodine concentration of 20-60 mg/kg in kitchen salt.…”

BackgroundSeveral epidemiologic studies have shown a possible association between thyroid function and cognitive decline. Our aim was to evaluate the association of subclinical hyperthyroidism and dementia in a population sample of older peopleMethodsA cross-sectional study - São Paulo Ageing & Health Study (SPAH) - in a population sample of low-income elderly people ≥ 65 years-old to evaluate presence of subclinical thyroid disease as a risk factor for dementia. Thyroid function was assessed using thyrotropic hormone and free-thyroxine as well as routine use of thyroid hormones or antithyroid medications. Cases of dementia were assessed using a harmonized one-phase dementia diagnostic procedure by the "10/66 Dementia Research Group" including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Logistic regression models were used to test a possible association between subclinical hyperthyroidism and dementia.Results and discussionPrevalence of dementia and of subclinical hyperthyroidism were respectively of 4.4% and 3.0%. After age adjustment, we found an association of subclinical hyperthyroidism and any type of dementia and vascular dementia (Odds Ratio, 4.1, 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI] 1.3-13.1, and 5.3 95% CI, 1.1-26.4; respectively). Analyzing data by gender, we found an association of subclinical hyperthyroidism with dementia and Alzheimer's disease only for men (OR, 8.0; 95% CI, 1.5-43.4; OR, 12.4; 95% CI, 1.2-128.4; respectively). No women with subclinical hypothyroidism presented Alzheimer's disease in the sample.ConclusionThe results suggest a consistent association among people with subclinical hyperthyroidism and dementia.
