METHOD A cross sectional design was conducted and a total of 300 high school students in 15 to 18 years old from three district Minahasa (Mn), Bukittinggi (Bt) and Gunungkidul (Gk)of different islands were participated in this study. Thyroid volume was assessed by palpation according to WHO criteria. Sub sample from those students were examined their urine iodine concentration (UIC) and interviewed their food preferences. Salt used in the home of corresponding students was also examined using wet digestion method.
