AB  - OBJECTIVE: Iodine deficiency still remains a major public health concern 
      worldwide despite global progress in its elimination. The aims of the present 
      study were to evaluate dietary iodine status in the mother and one adult member 
      of each family and the association between mothers' knowledge, attitude and 
      behaviour and the dietary iodine status of adult family members in Tehran. 
      DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, 24 h urinary iodine and Na concentrations 
      and the iodine content of household salt were measured. Mothers' knowledge, 
      attitude and behaviour were assessed using a questionnaire administered in 
      face-to-face interviews. SETTING: Health-care centres from four distinct areas of 
      Tehran. SUBJECTS: Mother-adult family member pairs aged >/= 19 years (n 290), 
      enrolled through randomized cluster sampling. RESULTS: In mothers and adult 
      family members, median 24 h urinary iodine concentration was 73 (interquartile 
      range (IQR) 36-141) microg/l and 70 (IQR 34-131) microg/l, dietary iodine intake was 143 
      (IQR 28-249) microg/d and 130 (IQR 26-250) microg/d and dietary salt intake was 8.0 (IQR 
      5.9-10.2) g/d and 7.5 (IQR 5.3-10.0) g/d, respectively. Significant correlations 
      were observed between mothers' attitude and behaviour and the 24 h urinary iodine 
      concentration, dietary iodine intake and iodine content of salt of adult family 
      members. In multiple analysis, lower quartiles of salt iodine content and salt 
      intake and inappropriate behaviour scores in mothers increased the risk of 
      urinary iodine concentration <100 microg/l in adult family members. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      present study showed that mothers' behaviour, but not knowledge and attitude, was 
      among major contributors to the suboptimal dietary iodine status observed in 
      adult family members.
