Determinants Of Disorders Due To Iodine Deficiency (Idd) In Post-Fertile Women Who Live In Endemic Areas In Enrekang Regency

Abstract

Objective of the research is to discover the Determinants of Disorders Due to Iodine Deficiency (IDD) in Post-fertile Women Who Live in Endemic Areas in Enrekang Regency. This study was an analytical research with cross sectional approach. The subjects of this study were 100 Post-fertile Women. Total Goiter Rate (TGR)/ Tyroid gland examination was performed using palpation method, soil iodine level using titration method. Iodine content of drinking water and Iodine Urine Excretion (EIU) using Ammonium Persulp hate Digestion Method, Iodine and zinc intake using semi-quantitative FFQ. Data analysis using Chi-Square analysis. The result of the study is soil iodine levels ranged from 8.53%-14.09%, the average value was 10.756% and the median was 9.65%, the water iodine content about 0-9 g/L, the average value was 0.34 g/L. . Of the total respondents based on Urine Iodine Excretion (EIU), 42.6% had a deficiency, and 57.4% did not. Based on the examination of the thyroid gland, there was swelling of the thyroid gland as much as 4%, and there is no swelling of the thyroid gland as much as 96%. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between iodine levels in water (p=0.776), maternal diet (p=1,000) and Urine Iodine Excretion (EIU), There was no significant relationship between iodine levels in water (p=1,000), maternal diet (p=1,000) with Total Goiter Rate (TGR). there was no significant relationship between iodine levels in soil, levels of iodine in water, diet (iodine intake) on the incidence of IDD in Enrekang district.
