Abstract

Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) is one of nutrient problems in Banyumas Regency. IDD is caused by chronic deficiency of dietary iodine intake, goitrogenic consumption, hormonal contraception use, genetic factor, and level of knowledge. Prevalence of goiter in Baturaden district of BanyumasRegency constantly increases up to 35,38% in 2007, so this location is categorized as high endemic IDD. To analyze risk factors of IDD in Baturaden district, a case-control explanatory study has been carried involving 30 reproductive age women (15-45 years old) suffering from IDD as case group and 30 reproductive age women with no IDD as control group. Both groups were residents of Kebumen, Karang Tengah, Kemutug Kidul, and Karang Salam villages. This study shows that two factors are simultaneously influenced the IDD i.e. consumption of iodine (p = 0,007) and goitrogen (p = 0,015). Of the two, iodine consumption is the dominant factor influencing the IDD cases
