PURPOSE

Urinary spot samples are a promising method for the biomonitoring of micronutrient intake in children. Our aim was to assess whether urinary spot samples could be used to estimate the 24-h urinary excretion of potassium, phosphate, and iodine at the population level.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study of 101 children between 6 and 16 years of age was conducted. Each child collected a 24-h urine collection and three urinary spot samples (evening, overnight, and morning). Several equations were used to estimate 24-h excretion based on the urinary concentrations of each micronutrient in the three spot samples. Various equations and spot combinations were compared using several statistics and plots.

RESULTS

Ninety-four children were included in the analysis (mean age: 10.5 years). The mean measured 24-h urinary excretions of potassium, phosphate, and iodine were 1.76 g, 0.61 g, and 95 µg, respectively. For potassium, the best 24-h estimates were obtained with the Mage equation and morning spot (mean bias: 0.2 g, correlation: 0.27, precision: 56%, and misclassification: 10%). For phosphate, the best 24-h estimates were obtained with the Mage equation and overnight spot (mean bias: - 0.03 g, correlation: 0.54, precision: 72%, and misclassification: 10%). For iodine, the best 24-h estimates were obtained with the Remer equation and overnight spot (mean bias: - 8 µg, correlation: 0.58, precision: 86%, misclassification: 16%).

CONCLUSIONS

Urinary spot samples could be a good alternative to 24-h urine collection for the population biomonitoring of iodine and phosphate intakes in children. For potassium, spot samples were less reliable.
