detect_iodine_lactating

Determining population level iodine intake status using mean urinary iodine
concentration for school age children (general), pregnant women
(pregnant), or lactating women with children under 2 years old
(lactating).

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies continue to be a significant
public health problem. This is particularly critical in developing countries
where deficiencies to vitamin A, iron, iodine, and other micronutrients
lead to adverse health consequences. Cross-sectional surveys are helpful in
answering questions related to the magnitude and distribution of
deficiencies of selected vitamins and minerals. This package provides tools
for calculating and determining select vitamin and mineral deficiencies
based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines found at

<dl><dt>iodine</dt>
<dd>A numeric value or numeric vector of median urinary iodine
concentration (microgram/L) of the population or populations of interest.</dd>
<dt>group</dt>
<dd>The population group of interest. Either school age children
(general), pregnant women (pregnant), or lactating women with
children under 2 years old (lactating)</dd>
<dt>label</dt>
<dd>Logical. Should labels be used to classify iodine intake
status? If TRUE (default), status is classified descriptively as
insufficient, adequate, excessive, or the like. If FALSE, simple integer
codes are returned.</dd></dl>
