Accuracy of Blood Iodine Ranges?

Kierkegaardian's Photo Kierkegaardian 09 Sep 2016

I've been studying up on iodine and how our iodine consumption has dropped by half in the last forty years.  The lab ranges for iodine I've seen are around 40-92 mcg/L.  Ranges reflect a 95% range for any given sample that reflects a population.  

 

Simple question: if there has been such a dramatic 50% drop in iodine (or any variable) intake, wouldn't this make contemporary blood ranges (for iodine or any variable) pretty much useless?
