Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 52-year-old vegan with dietary sodium restrictions is at the highest risk for iodine deficiency because iodine is primarily found in seafood, dairy products, and iodized salt. Vegans do not consume seafood or dairy, and sodium restrictions would likely limit intake of iodized salt, increasing the risk of iodine deficiency.
