“…[ 17 ] A study conducted among children aged 7–15 years in Kyrgyzstan found that children with goitre showed a higher prevalence of stunting and being underweight. [ 18 ] Evidence from other studies also supports that PEM could be one of the factors for IDD. [ 19 ] A study conducted among Turkish school children found that the BMI Z-score and weight-for-height were significantly lower in children with palpable goitre than in children without goitre.…”

Introduction: Iodine is one such micronutrient, the deficiency of which can impair the mental growth and development of young children and is the leading cause of preventable mental impairment. The present study has been conducted to study the prevalence of iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) and its association with various sociodemographic variables among children (6–12 years) residing in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. Methods: The sample size was 2700 with a multistage 30 cluster sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect data on the various sociodemographic variables. The weight and height of each child were recorded as per the standard procedure. In order to assess goitre, children were examined as per standard procedures prescribed by the National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Programme (NIDDCP). Results: A total of 2700 children were interviewed in total. Out of these, 1365 (50.5%) were males. The total goitre rate was found to be 195 (7.22%), indicating that IDDs are a mild public health problem in the study area. The median (interquartile range) urinary iodine excretion levels were 150 (108.05–189.37) mg/L. With respect to weight-for-age, it was observed that 93 (3.9%) children were severely underweight and 389 (16.8%) had severe stunting. A significant association was observed between goitre with the age group of children (p <.00001), maternal education (p <.00001), prevalence of stunting (p <.00001), and underweight (p <.05).

“…In some individuals who have a history thyroid disorders, even a slight increase in iodine intake can trigger thyroid disorders (Bauer, 2019). Daily iodine intake should not exceed 500 µg/day, especially in countries with a history of iodine deficiency (Urmatova et al, 2021).…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p><em>Iodine deficiency in school children is estimated at 25% worldwide. Complete brain development occurs at the age of 7 years and the development of cognitive function can be increased until 15 years with normally iodine status, namely adequate intake of iodine and Urinary Iodine Excretion (UIE). This study aims to analyze the relationship between iodine intake, UIE, height for age and academic achievements in school-age children. This research was an analytic observational study with a cross sectional design. This research was conducted in 4 elementary schools in Pakis District in March 2019. The samples were selected by random sampling, totaling 177 subjects. The dependent variable was the school's academic achievements in the form of midterm exam scores for maths, arts and sports. While the independent variables were iodine intake, UIE and height for age. The assessment of iodine intake was using a 24-hour recall form and interpreted using the 2007 Nutrisurvey application. The analysis method for UIE is the acid digestion method. Height for age is a child's nutritional status that can be determined based on anthropometric measurements. Academic achievements is learning outcomes as measured by midterm exam scores iin maths, arts, culture and sports. Data was analyzed by Linear Regression. Iodine intake increased math (b=0.01; p=0.014), art and sport (b=0.03; p=<0.001) scores. UIE levels increased math (b=0.01; p=0.001), art (b=0.01; p=0.002) and sport (b=0.01; p=0.003) scores. Height for age increased sport scores (b=1.58; p=0.010). The conclusion of this study is that height for age increase sports ability and iodine intake also UIE can increase academic achievements.</em></p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><strong><em>Keyword: Academic Achievements, Height for Age, Iodine Intake, UIE </em></strong>
