ABSTRACT Basic health research (Riskesdas) 2007 found high rate of hypertension (31.7%). The question is, whether iodine fortification pm gram in the salt still relevant because salt intake correlated with hypertension. This study is a cross sectional, assessing the levels of iodine and sodium in wine with estimation of iodine and sodium intake. This was a cross sectional study. Sample…
ABSTRACT Iodine deficiency or excess lead to the impairment of hormone production and thyroid function, and in the long term can cause health problems. Epidemiological criteria to determine the severity of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) in an area can be done by assessing the iodine status of school-age children. Indicator that can be used includes urinary iodine concentration (UIC). Indica…
The prevalence of hypertension among people aged over 18 years old at national level is high (31.7%) and the median value of urinary iodine concentration among school age children is also high (224 µ/g/L). In Indonesia, all salt for consumption should be iodised. Is there any relationship between urinary iodine and urinary sodium concentration? This study is to assess urinary sodium and iodin…
iodine intake is important for thyroid function. marginal iodine intake can cause goiter, characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland. in addition to effecting thyroid hormones and tiroglobulin in the blood. iodine status is determined by various factors, among others, the consumption of food containing iodine between food sources iodine of iodine status. this cross sectional study included 70 r…
iodine is an essential component for synthesis of tyroid hormone. in the areas of iodine deficiency iodine intake was also obtained from providing iodine capsules and fortification of salt. salt is recomended 30-80ppm. from the median of urine iodine excretion that get from survey 2003 showed there are low iodine intake but also there are low iodine intake but also there risk for the occurence…
Background: In the market, salt is available in the form of powder (table salt), granule (raw salt) or bricked (pressed salt). Salt has been used as vehicle for iodine fortification since end of 1970s. This iodised salt is set as the long term strategy to control iodine deficiency. lodised salt is also available in those three forms. lodised salt survey at household level was conducted in 2007 …
Elimination of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is expected to be achieved through Universal Salt lodization (USI) where at least 90 percent of households consume iodised salt that contained sufficient iodine i.e. 30 ppm of potassium iodate. At national level, simple semi quantitative test kit is used to estimate and monitor of iodine content in salt at household level. However, result of esti…
