Iodine Deficiency disorder (IDD) is a still serious as nutrient problem in Indonesia.The purpose of the research is to know the relationship between ThyroidStimulating Hormone (TSHs) with nutritional status of children aged 3 - 7 yearswhich ever therapies in BP2 GAKI Magelang. The samples were 44 children takefrom Magelang regency Central Java on July to December 2008. The design ofthe research was “cross-sectional” study. The data collected were concentrationof TSHs, nutritional status weight/high (W/H), weight/age (W/A), high/age (H/A)).The concentration of serum TSH was divided three group (<0.3 hyperthyroid,0.3-5 normal, >5 hypothyroid). The data of W/H were divide into three group(Z-score<-3SD severe wasted, -0.3 - -0.2 SD wasted, >-0.2 normal. The dataof W/A were divided into three group (Z-score<-3SD severe underweight, -0.3 --0.2 SD moderate underweight, >-0.2 normal. The data of H/A were divided intothree group (Z-score<-3SD severe stunted, -0.3 - -0.2 SD stunted, >-0.2 normal.Serum’s TSH of children was taken two milliliter and analysis of its in BPPGAKI Magelang’s laboratory by Elisa reader method. These data were analyzedby using Spearman’s rho test. The result show the hypothyroid serum of TSHwas 43.2 %. The wasted data of W/H was 20.5%, the underweight data of W/Awas 45.5%, and stunted data of H/A was 66%. The relationship between TSHsand H/A is significant at 0,019 (Using Spearman’s rho). The relationship betweenTSHs and W/H, between TSHs and W/A is not significant. It was 0.170 and was0.918. This means that the stunted of children relationship with hypothyroid.
