Research food diary app to collect dietary information. Urinary iodine concentration obtained.
SPSS to describe the iodine excretion and intake of the participants using box plots and histograms. P<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Normally distributed data will be presented as a mean with a standard deviation and non-normally distributed information will be presented as a median with 95% confidence intervals. The groups will be compared using unpaired t-tests if normally distributed or non-parametric (Mann-Whitney) tests if not normally distributed.
