Abstract

Total Goitre Rate (TGR) among School children at endemic goitre areas in 4 provinces of Java Island (West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta and East Java provinces) was studied in 1980 and 1987. A total of 26,516 school children in 1980 and 14837 school children in 1987 from 113 villages of 14 sub-districts in 4 provinces were included for analysis. The age of the school children was ranging from 6 to 14 years old. The villages were not representative for either sub-district or province. It was found that TGR in 1980 was above 29% in all provinces. In 1987, only TGR in Yogyakarta province decreased to the level regarded no longer a public health problem (TGR < 5%) while TGR is still high in the other three provinces (West Java, Central Java and East Java). The category of severe endemic goitre (TGR-30%) was reduced in 1987 compared with the number in 1980 in all provices. Considering gender, it was found from the 1987 data that GR amongst girls was higher than amongst boys. There was no information available about the implementation of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Control programs on TGR was partly due to iodised oil injection since performance of iodised salt program was low.
