Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 8
Abstract
Free Thyroxine (FT4) level is one of the parameters that can be used in the diagnosis of thyroid function disorder. Thyroid function disorder can cause the pregnancy problems both for fetus development and birth result. This result aimed to evaluate the level of FT4 serum in pregnant women exposed to mosquito coils. This research was a cross-sectional analytic study conducted in the coastal area of Brebes district. Respondents consisted of 105 pregnant women within the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Mean (SD) level of FT4 serum on all respondents was 13.86 pmol/L. Pregnant women exposed to mosquito coils had an average FT4 level of 15.70 pmol/L while the pregnant women not exposed to mosquito coils had FT4 levels of 12.02 pmol/L. From the statistical analysis, there was a difference in the average of FT4 levels between respondents who involved and not involved in farming. There was a significant difference on a mean of FT4 level between pregnant women who exposed to mosquito coils and not exposed to mosquito coils.
