Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stunting is a nutritional problem and most commonly found in children in Indonesia. Deficiencies of specific nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin C and magnesium are thought to be related to stunting. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to look the relationship between Specific Nutrient Intake with Prevalence of Stunting Among Schoolchildren, in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 232 children (6-7 years) randomly selected from eight primary schools in Padang City. The data were collected by measuring the height of children using microtois, stunting determined by TB / age and make use of diagrams WHO-NCHS, and to assess specific nutrient intake using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and nutrisurvey programme. The data was processed using a computer and analysed using T-Test and Mann-Whitney U. RESULTS: This study shows that average protein intake, calcium, phosphor, vitamin C, Magnesium and zinc in normal children are 86.58±34.82g/day, 524,25±37, 74.25mg/day, 1366.00±704.29mg/day, 86.07±50.19mg/hr, 285.19±110.25mg/hr, Zinc are 8,18±2,22mg/day and in stunting children are 80.24±24.87g/day, 361±57.85mg/day, 1228.74±81.50mg/day, 98.76±45.91mg/day, 284.91±85.21mg/day, zinc 7.87±2.88mg/day. There was a significant mean difference of intake proteins and zinc between normal children and stunting children (p=0.04), but not with other nutrient intakes (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed that intake proteins and zinc are related to the incidence of stunting Among School children, in Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia.
