HUBUNGAN ANTARA STATUS IODIUM DENGAN STATUS GIZI PADA ANAK RIWAYAT HIPOTIROID

Abstract

Iodine Deficiency disorder (/DD) is a still serious as nutrient problem in Indonesia. The purpose of the research is to know the relationship between Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSHs) with nutritional status of children aged 3-7 years which ever therapies in BP2 GAKI Magelang. The samples were 44 children take from Magelang regency Central Java on July to December 2008. The design of the research was "cross-sectional" study. The data collected were concentration of TSHs, nutritional status weight/high (W/H), weight/age (WIA), high/age (HIA)). The concentration of serum TSH was divided three group (<0.3 hyperthyroid, 0.3-5 normal, >5 hypothyroid). The data of W/H were divide into three group (Z-score<-3SD severe wasted, -0.3 - -0.2 SD wasted, >-0.2 normal. The data of W/A were divided into three group (Z-score<-3SD severe underweight, -0.3 - -0.2 SD moderate underweight, >-0.2 normal. The data of HIA were divided into three group (Z-score<-3SD severe stunted, -0.3--0.2 SD stunted, >-0.2 normal. Serum's TSH of children was taken two milliliter and analysis of its in BPP GAKI Magelang's laboratory by Elisa reader method. These data were analyzed by using Spearman's rho test. The result show the hypothyroid serum of TSH was 43.2 %. The wasted data of W/H was 20.5%, the underweight data of WIA was 45.5%, and stunted data of HIA was 66%. The relationship between TSHs and H/A is significant at 0,019 (Using Spearman's rho). The relationship between TSHs and WIH, between TSHs and WIA is not significant. It was 0.170 and was 0.918. This means that the stunted of children relationship with hypothyroid.
