The main nutritional problems facing the Indonesian government one of Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). West Sumatra province found the prevalence of enlarged adenoids school children is still high which ranges from 12% -44,1% and Total Goiter Rate also high in the coastal region. This study aims to determine the factors cause iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) and relationship to nutritional status of primary school children 36 Singgalang Tanah Datar.This type of research is Case Control. The study population are the all of primary school children 36 Singgalang Tanah Datar, aged 9-12 years who suffered goiter examined palpation. The sample consisted of 30 cases and 30 controls. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique. Data were processed using univariate, bivariate with chisquare test.The research results revealed there is relationship IDD to nutritional status of primary school children 36 Singgalang Tanah Datar (p = 0,034 (95% CI: 1,2 to 11,4)), an related of iodine intake (p = 0,016 (95% CI: 1,5 -14,4)), goitrogenik intake (p = 0,039 (95% CI: 1,2-9,9)), the quality of salt (p = 0,038 (95% CI: 1,2 to 10,2)), socioeconomic status (p = 0,02 (95% CI: 1,4-11,8), and the level of parents knowledge (p = 0,039 (95% CI: 1,2 to 9,9)) with iodine deficiency disorder. While variable which is not related to iodine deficiency disorder is the parents education level p = 0,77 (p value> 0,05)This study concluded that there is relationship IDD to nutritional status and there are relationship iodine intake, goitrogenik, salt quality, socioeconomic status, and level of knowledge of parent with iodine deficiency disorder. Need for nutrition counseling conducted by the health promotion officers regularly about the importance of the use of iodized salt for children's growth and nutrition education in the family menu processing so as to improve the nutritional status of children at the household levelKeywords : Iodine deficiency disorder, nutritional status, school children

Anthropometric Assessment

Malnutrition is a common but frequently overlooked problem among patients with cirrhosis of liver. Malnourished cirrhotic patients have a higher rate of complications and an overall increased mortality. Identifying these patients is of great clinical importance. This study was carried out to assess nutritional status of cirrhotic patients to identify those who are malnourished and to see the relationship between severity of liver disease and malnutrition. 105 patients were selected by purposive type sampling. Nutritional status was assessed by 3 anthropometric assessment tools- body mass index (BMI), mid upper arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and triceps skin fold thickness (TST). Severity of liver disease was assessed by Child-Pugh (CP) score. Severe malnutrition was defined as MAMC and TST <5th percentile, calculated from standard tables, and as BMI <16. Among 105 patients 18, 49 and 38 were of Child-Pugh group (CP group) A, B and C respectively. Anthropometric assessment revealed that, when assessed by MAMC 63% of the study population were severely malnourished. Based on MAMC, severe malnutrition was present in 39%, 63% and 73% patients in CP group A, B and C, respectively (P<0.05). So, percentage of severely malnourished patient increased with the increase in severity of liver disease. Based on TST, 28%, 34% and 50% patients were severely malnourished in CP-A, CP-B and in CP-C (p>0.05) respectively which showed a trend similar to that by MAMC. Whereas, based on BMI, 0%, 8% and 2% patients were severely malnourished respectively (p>0.05). It showed a decrease in the percentage of severely malnourished patient in CP group C than in CP group B. In this study, nutritional assessment by TST and MAMC revealed that severe malnutrition was common in our study population and assessment by MAMC showed a statistically significant association of severity of liver disease with severe malnutrition.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.189-194
