Participants were children born between April 1998 and March 2011 in Miharu Town (n = 1974), where stable iodine intake was implemented during the FDNPP accident. The association between stable iodine intake and thyroid ultrasound results was examined using logistic regression analysis. Coarsened exact matching was used to balance sex and age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among the participants, 1095 (55.5%) consumed stable iodine, whereas 879 (44.5%) did not. In the age- and sex-matched group of 1952 children (1088 in the intake and 864 in non-intake group), no association was observed between stable iodine intake and thyroid screening results indicating the need for a detailed examination (odds ratio: 0.839; 95% CI: 0.393-1.8, P = .647). The volume and parenchymal heterogeneity were not different between these groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stable iodine intake was not associated with thyroid ultrasound screening results, probably because of the low radiation doses following the FDNPP accident.
