Unfortunately there will always be groups of people who will not have access to iodized salt as a measure for iodine deficiency control. Iodized oil for oral use may be indispensable for them. The conclusions of a study in Malawi on the effectiveness of oral iodized are that the type of iodized oil, goitre, intestinal parasites, sex, adipose tissue, cassava consumption and seasonality are factors which influence the duration of effectiveness of this prophylaxis measure. The study in Malawi used urinary iodine concentration as a measure for iodine status and a hyperbolic function to describe the pattern of urinary iodine excretion after oral dosing. Cumulative frequency distributions of individually assessed durations of effectiveness very conveniently describe the prevalence rate of iodine deficiency after oral iodized oil administration. They are very useful for identifying factors which influence the effectiveness of oral iodized oil and may thus be a tool for optimizing iodized oil programmes.
遗憾的是，总会有一些人群无法获得碘盐作为控制碘缺乏的措施。口服碘油对他们来说可能必不可少。马拉维一项关于口服碘油有效性的研究得出的结论是，碘油类型、甲状腺肿、肠道寄生虫、性别、脂肪组织、木薯摄入量和季节性是影响这种预防措施有效性持续时间的因素。马拉维的这项研究使用尿碘浓度作为碘状态的衡量指标，并使用双曲线函数来描述口服给药后尿碘排泄模式。单独评估的有效性持续时间的累积频率分布非常方便地描述了口服碘油后碘缺乏的患病率。它们对于识别影响口服碘油有效性的因素非常有用，因此可能是优化碘油计划的一种工具。
