Review
[Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023 on diet for health and environment estimated for children].
Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023 (NNR2023) advised for the first time certain amounts of foods from food-groups based on scientific data on healthy and environment-friendly diet. The food-based-dietary-guidelines are intended for adults and children above age two, but children's energy requirement and intake are lower than those of adults. In this review, reference amounts of food from different food-groups are calculated for children to align with the combination recommended for adults in NNR2023. ⋯ The median of meat intake was higher than advised maximum intake of red meat for pre-schoolers and adolescents. Pre-schoolers had high fish intake, while older children, especially adolescent girls, had a lower intake. New studies on children's diet are needed in Iceland to analyse their diet today.

Medical treatment for termination of pregnancy in the first trimester of pregnancy was first introduced in 2006 at Landspitali. This new method, which replaced surgery, slowly gained ground and now most abortions in Iceland are medically induced. It is therefore appropriate to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this method. Two medications are administrated during medical termination of pregnancy, mifepristone (anti-gestagen) and misoprostol (prostaglandin). ⋯ The incidence of complications after medical termination of pregnancy is comparable to what has been observed in other Nordic countries. Despite a higher risk of incomplete abortion when drugs are used, the benefit of medical therapy over surgery is significant.
