HUBUNGAN KADAR TSH DENGAN SKOR INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT PADA ANAK-ANAK SEKOLAH DASAR DI DAERAH ENDEMIK GAKI SAMIGALUH KULONPROGO
Abstract
Background: IQ is important toward the intelligence development amongst children. The result of IQ score can be determined by internal and external factors. IQ score amongst children in endemic areas of iodine deficiency disorder is suspected influenced by thyroid function disorder. TSH concentration portrays the thyroid function.
