HUBUNGAN ASUPAN GIZI DAN TINGGI BADAN IBU DENGAN STATUS GIZI ANAK BALITA

<p>ABSTRACT<br />The objectives of this study were to analyze relationship of maternal height, nutrients intake and nutritional status in children under five years. The study design used was cross-sectional study with 90 children as subjects that consisted of 47 stunting children and 43 normal children. This study showed that short mothers (height &lt;150 cm) were more prevalent in stunting children (74.5%) compared to normal children (60.5%). Energy and protein adequacy level of stunting and normal children were relatively severe deficient. There were no significant relationship between maternal height and energy adequacy level with nutritional status. However, there was a negative relationship between protein adequacy level with nutritional status (p&lt;0.05; r=-0.223).<br />Keywords: children under five years, maternal height, nutrients intake, nutritional status</p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan tinggi badan ibu, asupan gizi dan status gizi anak balita. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional study dengan subjek sebanyak 90 anak terdiri dari 47 anak stunting dan 43 anak normal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ibu yang pendek (TB&lt;150 cm) lebih banyak terdapat pada anak stunting (74.5%) dibandingkan anak normal (60.5%). Tingkat kecukupan energi dan protein anak stunting maupun anak normal masih tergolong defisit berat. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson diketahui bahwa tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara tinggi badan ibu dan tingkat kecukupan energi dengan status gizi. Namun, terdapat hubungan negatif antara tingkat kecukupan protein dengan status gizi (p&lt;0.05, r=-0.223).<br />Kata kunci: anak balita, asupan gizi, status gizi, tinggi badan ibu
