Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The ranking of the Indonesian Human Development Index (HDI) 2017 has fallen compared to 1990. Health status is one of the dimensions of the HDI. The health degree of the Indonesian from life expectancy at birth tends to increase, but not all years are in good health. Health complaints data show that illness experiences tend to increase in the last two decades. Health problems become one of the consequences caused by food insecurity. The study aims to examine the consequences of food insecurity on health complaints and controlled by demographic and socio-economic characteristics (sex, age, area, education, drinking water, sanitation, and economic status), food assistance program, health insurance ownership and health facilities per density. METHODS: Indonesia household socio-economic survey conducted in March 2018 (1,131,195 individual samples), was analysed using multinomial logit method. RESULTS: The findings indicate that the population of moderate to severe food insecurity has a risk to experience severe health complaints more than 2 times of food secure level. The subsidized governments health insurance owner has a lower risk of health complaints than the non-subsidized government's health insurance. Food assistance programs can reduce the probability of health complaints in moderate-severe food insecurity level group and at least junior high school graduated. The Experience severe health complaints and outpatient treatment are higher at the moderate-severe food insecurity, living in rural areas, and non-subsidized government's health insurance. DISCUSSION: Health policy needs to be mapped according to food insecurity and affordability of health facilities.
