Objective: Impaired physical growth is one of the prolonged effects of deficient iodine, a micronutrient. Thus, this study aimed to determine the relationship between the urinary iodine levels and anthropometric indices in a population of schoolchildren in Ilorin, North-Central Nigeria. Material and Method: This was a cross-sectional analytical study carried out among primary schoolchildren in Ilorin, North-Central Nigeria. We recruited a total of 492 children aged 6-12 years through a multi-staged systematic sampling technique. Anthropometry was determined using standard methods. We collected urine samples from the pupils and analysed them for iodine in the laboratory using the Sandell-Kolthoff method. Results: Of the 492 children recruited, 13 (3.2%) were under weight, 23 (4.7%) were stunted, 21 (4.3%) had thinness and obesity was found in 7 (1.5%). The mean (SD) weight for age Z score (WAZ) was -0.216 (1.089), and height for age Z score (HAZ) was -0.073 (1.286). The mean weight for height z score (WHZ) and weight for age Z score (BAZ) were 1.036 (0.002) and -0.428 (0.976) respectively. A total of 26.5% of the schoolchildren had mild iodine deficiency, 0.4% had excess urinary iodine levels and no child had moderate or severe iodine deficiency. There was no relationship between the urinary iodine levels and anthropometric indices (WAZ p=0.665, HAZ p= 0.978, WHZ p=0.375, and BAZ p=0.928). Conclusion: This study showed that there is no relationship between nutritional indices and urinary iodine levels. Hence, nutritional status of schoolchildren may not reflect their iodine level.

arasında bir ilişki olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, okul çocuklarının beslenme durumu iyot seviyelerinin bir yansıması olmayabilirmaç: Bozulmuş fiziksel büyüme, bir mikrobesin olan iyotun eksikliğinin uzun süreli etkilerinden biridir. Bu çalışma, Kuzey-Orta Nijerya'daki Ilorin okulundaki bir popülasyonda idrarda iyot düzeyleri ile antropometrik endeksler arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Nijerya'nın Kuzey-Orta Ilorin kentindeki ilkokul çocukları arasında yapılan kesitsel bir analitik çalışmadır. Bu çalışmaya, çok aşamalı sistematik örnekleme tekniği ile 6-12 yaş arası toplam 492 çocuk dahil edildi. Antropometri standart yöntemler kullanılarak belirlendi. Öğrencilerden idrar numuneleri toplandı ve Sandell-Kolthoff yöntemi kullanılarak laboratuarda iyot açısından analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 492 çocuğun 13'ü (%3,2) yaşına göre kilosunun altında, 23'ü (%4,7) kısa boylu, 21'inde (%4,3) zayıflık vardı ve 7'de (%1,5) ise obezite saptandı. Yaş Z skoru (WAZ) için ortalama (SD) ağırlık -0,216 (1,089) ve yaş Z skoru (HAZ) için yükseklik -0,073 (1,286) idi. Boy z skoru (WHZ) ve yaş Z skoru (BAZ) için ortalama ağırlık sırasıyla 1,036 (0,002) ve -0,428 (0,976) idi. Okul çocuklarının toplam %26,5'inde hafif iyot eksikliği, %0,4'ünde aşırı idrar iyot düzeyi saptanırken çocukların hiçbirinde orta veya şiddetli iyot eksikliği yoktu. Üriner iyot düzeyleri ile antropometrik indeksler arasında ilişki yoktu (WAZ p=0,665, HAZ p=0,978, WHZ p=0,375 ve BAZ p=0,928). Sonuç: Bu çalışma beslenme indeksleri ile idrarda iyot düzeyleri arasında bir ilişki olmadığını göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, okul çocuklarının beslenme durumu iyot seviyelerinin bir yansıması olmayabilir
