The core problem of IDD is initially caused by lack of iodine in water and soil, then heightened by goitrogenic substances in the food consumed, more pollutants as side effects of industrial waste, the blocking agent which naturally exists in water and soil in the surrounding dwelling places.Objective: The study aimed to identify factors affecting the prevalence of IDD among elementary school children at coastal region.Method: The study was analytic observational with cross sectional design. Population and samples of the study were elementary school children of grade 4-6 proportionally chosen that fulfiled inclusion criteria.
