Selenium Status of School Children in IDD Endemic and Non Endemic Areas
No full textThe objectives of the study was to observe relationship between determinant parameters of iodine status and determinant parameter of selenium status among the elementary school children in determining IDD problem. The study was conducted in two villages of coastal area of Pasuruan, East Java Province using 24 samples in endemic area of IDD and 22 samples in non endemic area of IDD. Iodine status was measured based on urinary excretion of iodine (UEI) and thyroid hormones consentration (TSH, FT4, T3) while selenium status masured using selenium content of blood serum. The results of the study show that iodine status as measured by UEI and FT4 of samples living in endemic area (8,3% normal and 95,8% normal respectively) are statistically different from those in non endemic area (100% normal and 95,4% normal respectively) while iodine status as measured by TSH and T3 in endemic area (87,5% normal and 95,8% normal respectively) are not statistically different from those in non endemic area (100% normal and 100% normal respectively). The average selenium content in serum owned by samples in two areas are not statistically different. However if the data was classified based on normality categories, it is shown that samples in endemic area of IDD have lower category in selenium status (79,19%) compared to those in non endemic area of IDD (9,09%). There are significant correlation between T3 and FT4,, T3 and selenium content of serum, and between FT4 and selenium content of serum in non endemic area. The result of regression analyses of joined samples from endemic and non endemic areas showed that selenium content of serum and UEI were closely related to iodine and selenium intake (r=0,402 and r=0,510).Keywords: selenium, iodine status, school childre

Study of Iodium Content in Seaweed Juice as an Alternative for GAKI\u27s Prevention
No full textThis research was conducted to study the iodium level in seaweed (Euchema cottonii) juice as the alternative to pprevent the iodium deficiency disorders. The result showed that fresh seaweed contained 91,19 % water, 5,07 % ash, 0,27 % fat, 0,27 % protein, 3,22 % carbohydrate and 2,81 ppm iodium. However, the most preferred seaweed juice contained 83,41 % water, 0,04 % ash, 0,48 % fat, 0,15 % protein, 15,93 % carbohydrate and 1,03 ppm iodium. The characteristics of seaweed juice were as follows : iodium level ranged from 0,62 - 1,99 ppm, pH 3,14 - 3,42, acid total 0,32 - 0,51 %, glucose level 11,00 - 18,13 % and dissolved suspension total 1,35 - 1,36 Brix. The organoleptic test showed that the most preferred seaweed juice was one in comparison with water 1:7 and 25 % glucose (A3B3) supplemente

Nutrients Content and Biological Test of Vegetable Oil
No full textThe objectives of the research were to analyze saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oil; total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride in blood serum of rat fed by various vegetable oil. Wistar strain rats were grouped into 6 group oil rations i.e. : corn, sorbean, coconut, palm oil 1, palm oil 2, and palm oil 3. Chromatography gas was used to analyze fatty acid content. The result showed that palm oil 1, 2, and 3 contained 47.20%, 43.80%, and 38.80% unsaturated fatty acid. While corn oil, soybean opil, and coconut oil contained 67.30%, 61.64%, and 6.77%. The total cholesterol ranged between 83.99-98.43 mg/100 ml (no difference among groups). The HDL cholesterol of rat with corn oil ration was the lowest.

A Simple and Appropriate Dietary Scoring Method for Assessing Nutritional Quality of the Diet of Pregnant Women and Toddler
No full textThe objective of this study was to identify a simple and appropriate dietary scoring method for assessing nutritional quality of the diet of pregnant women and toddler. For this purpose, two sets of food intake data were analyzed. The first data set was the food intake data of pregnant women, which consisted of 150 pregnant women (3-8 month of pregnancy) of East Bogor, and the second data set was the food intake data of toddler which consisted of 191 toddlers (1-3 years) of rural West Java. Four simple dietary scoring methods were developed based on a dietary scoring system of the five major food groups (cereals, meats, vegetables, fruit and milk) and the six major food groups (cereals, meat, legumes, vegetables, fruit and milk). Nutritional quality of the diet (NQ) which was defined as the mean nutrient adequacy of eight nutrients was considered as the gold standard for analysing the most appropriate dietary scoring method. Correlation and dummy regression was applied for this analysis. The results showed that each of the dietary scoring method developed was significantly correlated with the NQ with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.58 to 0.80. The most appropriate and simplest dietary scoring method for assessing the NQ of pregnant women and toddlers was the dietary scoring method developed based on the six major food groups and applying three categorical levels of dietary score (0, 1,2.)
