Goitre, That’s Enlargen of thyroid gland, and cretins had been known in Indonesia for long time, especially in areas around active vulconoes. In areas where goitre is prevalence, critinism is also common. This paper studied goitre prevalence to estimate the magnitude of cretinism and developmental dificit due to iodine deficiency. Data set from National Mapping Survey 1996/1998 were used for analyses. Data set from Evaluation on Intensified iodine. Deficiency Control Project 2003 were also used for comparison in the changes of goitre and urinary iodine concentration. Epidemiological modelling was construc to estimate cretin and development deficit due to iodine deficiency. Prevalence of goitre in areas with endemic goitre were not changes after five years intensive control program. Median urinary iodine concentration changed quite significantly. Around 0.33% of people living in endemic goitre area (IGR>5.0%) were estimated to suffer from cretin and 0.9% were suffering from milder developmental deficit. Around 0.33% of baby born in areas with with endemic goitre were cretin and 0.099% were born with milder developmental deficit. The higher the goitre prevalence the more the number of cretin and milder development deficit de to iodine deficiency.
