HUBUNGAN ANTARA PEMILIHAN DAN PENYIMPANAN GARAM BERYODIUM DENGAN STATUS YODIUM PADA WANITA USIA SUBUR DI DAERAH ENDEMIK GAKY
Abstract: Iodine Deficiency
Disorders (IDD) is one of the serious community health problems. Risk factors
of IDD include methods of obtaining and storaging salt that is consumed.
Community group which is very vulnerable to impact of IDD is Child-Bearing-Age
Women (CBAW). To understand the level of iodine in CBAW, Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone (TSH) rate can be used. The objective of this research was to find out
whether there was relationship between methods of obtaining and storaging iodized
salt and iodine status of CBAW in Desa Selo, Kecamatan Selo, Kabupaten
Boyolali, Jawa Tengah. This study implemented observational research with
crossectional approach. There were 24 participants who were chosen randomly
(simple random sampling). The data, consist of: texture of salt, label, number
of registration, the place where they buy and storage salt, were collected
through questionaire, while iodine level of salt and TSH level were tested by
ELISA method. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by Rank Spearman correlation
test. The percentations of participants who obtained and stored salt improperly
were 91.7% and 83.3%, respectively. The iodine statuses of all participants were
normal. Based on statistic test, there was not any significant relationship
between methods of obtaining and storaging iodized salt and iodine status of
CBAW with p=0.560 and p=0.999, respectively This phenomenon occurred probably
due to other factors like selenium (Se), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and vitamin A
consumption.
