"BACKGROUNDChildhood living conditions have long been recognized to have a long term impact on nutritional and health status (Truswell, 1976, Shannon and Chen, 1988, Lundberg, 1993). The pattern of the urban nutrition condition is probably different compared to the nutrition condition in rural areas. Family income, environment (water supply, sewerage facilities, health services etc) besides cultural background and education could limit growth of the children (Solomons and Gross, 1987, Gross and Monteiro, 1989).Nutritional problems among schoolchildren will negatively affect their learning skills which is very important in succeeding formal educational processes in school (Pollit, 1990, Lopez et al., 1993). Gross (1989) proposed schoolchildren as one of non-traditional nutritional risk groups which seem to exist in the urban area.It is noted that one of the important changes in Indonesia is a structural change in the future population structure whereby the number of school-age-children"

"Secara umum studi cross sectional ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui status gizi dan praktik pemberian makan yang diterima oleh anak usia 0-59 bulan yang tinggal di panti asuhan di Jakarta. Penelitian dilakukan di tiga panti asuhan yang dikhususkan untuk menampung anak usia balita. Sebanyak 144 anak usia balita di panti dilibatkan dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan hasil studi, sebesar 21.9% anak termasuk dalam kategori gizi kurang, 35.2% pendek, dan 6,5% kurus. Hampir 90% anak yang kebutuhan protein dan vitamin A nya terpenuhi, namun lebih dari 90% anak yang kebutuhan zinc nya tidak terpenuhi. Pada kenyataannya, kandungan gizi pada makanan yang disajikan oleh panti pun tidak memenuhi kebutuhan anak untuk zinc. Penelitian ini menemukan beberapa praktik pemberian makan yang tidak tepat seperti, tipe makanan dan respond pengasuh yang tidak tepat, juga praktik pemberian makan saat anak sakit dan dalam masa pemulihan. 71,5% anak menderita ISPA dan 22,2% menderita diare, sementara 18.8% anak menderita ISPA dan diare. Penelitian ini menemukan beberapa praktik yang tidak tepat seperti dalam hal penanganan makanan, penggunaan botol makanan (bottle feeding), tidak praktik cuci tangan yang tidak dilakukan oleh anak maupun pengasuh ketika menyajikan makanan atau menyuapi anak, serta beberapa hal lain yang dapat memungkinkan terjadinya kontaminasi silang ataupun memudahkan terjadinya penyebaran penyakit menular.

Background Prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection still high in Indonesia, especially in the school aged children. Several factors including poor hygiene, socioeconomic factors, behavior, and crowded population have a contribution in this high prevalence. Nutrition and parasitic infection are closely linked. Intestinal parasitic infection can cause malabsorption and malnutrition especially in school aged children while they need adequate nutrition intake to grow. Therefore, intestinal parasite infection in school aged children is become a major public health problem since it will delay their growth.Methods Sample is obtained from SDN Kalibata 04, South Jakarta by collecting the children's stool from 1st 5th grade. Direct examination of the stool is conducted in the Parasitology Department, Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Indonesia by Lugol and eosin staining. Additionally, data of nutritional status was obtained by direct physical examination of the weight and height of the children and then they were used to calculate the BMI percentile. Thereafter, data was analyzed using Chi square test, SPSS version 20 to know is there any association between intestinal parasitic infection and nutritional status.Results From the total 157 stool examined in the laboratory, there were 60 38.2 children positively infected with various kinds of intestinal parasites. Mostly the infection is caused by B. hominis, which infect 44 children 69.4 . Other infection is caused by G. intestinalis 15.3, T. trichiura 1.4, hookworm 1.4, and mixed infection of B. hominis and E. coli 4.2, and B.hominis with G. intestinalis 4.2 . From the total of infected children, 17 children 28.3 have BMI below 5th percentile, and it was considered as malnourished. Moreover, 67 uninfected children have healthy weight. Statistically, there is association between intestinal parasitic infection and nutritional status in SDN Kalibata 04, South Jakarta. Conclusion The incidence of intestinal parasitic infection in SDN Kalibata 04 is 38.2. Moreover, 28.3 of the infected children were malnourished and it is suggested that children with intestinal parasite infection has low nutritional status in SDN Kalibata 04, South Jakarta. "

"Hasil pemantauan gizi dan kesehatan (Nutrition and Health Surveillance System/NSS) tahun I999-2003 menunjukkan tingginya prevalensi gizi kurang (berat badan menurut umur <-2 SD dari median NCHS), yaitu di atas 30% (klasifikasi WHO) pada balita di daerah kumuh perkotaan maupun pedesaan. Prevalensi gizi kurang tersebut lebih tinggi di daerah kumuh perkotaan dibandingkan daerah kumuh pedesaan. Kota Jakarta merupakan salah satu daerah kumuh perkotaan yang terrnasuk dalam daerah pengumpulan data NSS. Di daerah ini, prevalensi gizi kurang tinggi pada anak usia 12-23 bulan (Juni-September 2003), yaitu 42% dan prevalensi ASI eksklusif paling rendah dibandingkan dengan ketiga daerah kumuh perkotaan lainnya (Surabaya, Semarang dan Makassar), yaitu hanya 1%.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei menggunakan data sekunder NSS yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan status gizi anak umur 6-24 bulan daerah kumuh perkotaan di Jakarta tahun 2003. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 1031 anak dan analisis data meliputi univariat, bivariat dan multivariat. Analisis multivariat menggunakan analisis Regresi Logistik Ganda.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan anak umur 18-24 bulan berisiko mengalami gizi kurang 3,041 kali dan anak umur 12-17 bulan berisiko mengalami gizi kurang 2,443 kali dibanding anak umur 6-11 bulan. Kemudian anak dengan berat badan lahir < 2,5 kg berisiko mengalami gizi kurang 3,018 kali dibanding anak dengan berat badan lahir > 2,5 kg. Selanjutnya ibu dengan IMT S 18,5 berisiko mempunyai anak gizi kurang sebesar 1,828 kali dibanding ibu dengan IMT > 18,5. Adapun keluarga dengan jumlah balita > 2 orang berisiko mempunyai anak gizi kurang 1,407 kali dibanding keluarga dengan jumlah balita 1 orang. Faktor paling dominan berhubungan dengan status gizi anak adalah umur bayi/anak berikutnya berat badan lahir, IMT ibu dan jumlah balita. Umur bayi/anak terutama umur 18-24 bulan berisiko lebih besar menderita gizi kurang karena pada umur tersebut anak mulai mengalarni gangguan pertumbuhan akibat efek kurnulatif dani faktor ASI dan makanan yang tidal( diberikan secara adekuat pada umur sebelumnya. Di samping itu, anak mempunyai riwayat berat badan lahir rendah sehingga sulit mengejar ketinggalan pertumbuhannya, status gizi ibu yang kurang balk dan banyaknya balita dalam keluarga berdampak pada pertumbuhan anak. Oleh karena itu, perlu pemantauan status gizi anak, status gizi ibu prahamil, selama hamil dan pasta hamil. Selain itu, perlu penyuluhan mengenai pemberian MP-ASI umur 4-6 bulan dan pemberian makanan tambahan pada anak serta suplementasi vitamin pada ibu.

Nutrition and Health Surveillance System (NSS) year 1999-2003 shows prevalence of underweight (weight for age < -2 SD from NCHS median) is very high , that is above 30% (WHO classification) on infant at rural and urban slum areas. An underweight prevalence at urban slum areas is higher than rural slum areas. Jakarta is the one of slum area that include in NSS data collection area. In this area, prevalence of underweight children 12-23 months of age (June-September 2003), is 42% and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding is the lowest compared with other three urban slum areas (Surabaya, Semarang and Makassar), is only 1%.This research is a survey research using NSS secondary data that aimed to identify factors that related with nutrient status of children 6-24 months of age in urban slum of Jakarta year 2003. Total sample are 1031 children and data analysis consist of univariate, bivariate and multivariate. Multivariate analysis use double logistic regression analysis.Research result show child 18-24 months of age have risk in having underweight 3,041 times and child 12-17 months of age have risk in having underweight 2,443 times compared with child 6-11 months of age. Moreover, child with birth weight < 2,5 kilo have risk in having underweight 3,018 times compared with child with birth weight >. 2,5 kilo. While mother with Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI > 18,5. Meanwhile family with under-five child member > 2 have risk 1,407 times in having underweight child compared to family with one under-five child member. The most dominant factor related to child nutrient status is child age, after that birth weight, mother's BMI and under-five child member. Child 18-24 months of age have bigger risk in having underweight because, at that age, the child begin to have growth problem result from cumulative effect from breastfeeding factor and not enough food given at previous age. Besides that, child with low birth weight record is difficult to catch up their growth, mother nutrient status and the amount of under-five child impact to child growth. Thus, the need of children nutrient status surveillance, mother nutrient status of before pregnancy, during pregnancy and after pregnancy. Besides that, the need of health promotion about complementary feeding 4-6 month age and extra food distribution to child and vitamin supplement to mother."

"Tujuan pembangunan nasional di Indonesia adalah terciptanya masyarakat yang utuh dan berkualitas. Pada tahun 2005 kualitas penduduk Indonesia berdasarkan indikator Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) berada pada urutan ke 110 dari 174 nega-negara di dunia. Rendahnya IPM antara lain disebabkan rendahnya status gizi dan kesehatan masyarakat. Status gizi dan kesehatan masyarakat. Lebih dari 50 persen penduduk Indonesia mengalami kekurangan gizi. Permasalahan kekurangan gizi seringkali dikesampingkan dan dilupakan. Padahal kekurangan gizi dalam siklus kehidupan dapat berakibat pada kematian bayi, kematian balita, kematian ibu dan rendahnya angka harapan hidup.Kesehatan balita merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam kualitas hidup di negara-negara berkembang. Faktor mempengaruhi status kesehatan balita adalah kesehatan dan asupan gizi, kesehatan lingkungan sekitar dan kesehatan bawaan anak. Karena itu, penelitian tentang status gizi balita masih tetap memiliki relevan dan sangat diharapkan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui determinan asupan gizi dan kesehatan rumah tangga serta pengaruhnya terhadap status gizi balita di Indonesia. Penelitian menggunakan data Susenas 2004 kor dan modul kesehatan. Sampel yang digunakan mencakup rumah tangga yang memiliki balita. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berjumiah 10.314 rumah tangga dan balita. Metode analisis untuk menjelaskan faktor yang mempengaruhi status gizi balita adalah metode Two Stage Least Square (TSLS).Asupan gizi rumah tangga selain dipengaruhi pengeluaran rumah tangga, juga bergantung pada tingkat pendidikan ibu. Perubahan gizi yang diakibatkan perubahan pengeluaran bergantung tingkat pendidikan ibu. Semakin tinggi tingkat pendidikan ibu penambahannya semakin kecil. Dampak pendidikan ibu terhadap perubahan asupan gizi bergantung tingkat pengeluaran rumah tangga dan daerah tempat tinggalnya. Peningkatan asupan gizi akan berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan kesehatan rumah tangga. Sementara penurunan kesehatan rumah tangga terjadi di daerah perkotaan. Kondisi lingkungan rumah tangga (WC dan Air) berpengaruh positif terhadap kesehatan rumah tangga.Kesehatan rumah tangga dan asupan gizi memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap status gizi balita. Dampak perubahan kesehatan rumah tangga akan semakin besar terhadap status gizi balita jika balita memiliki berat badan diatas rata-rata. Sedangkan dampak asupan gizi terhadap status gizi balita bergantung pada tingkat pengeluaran makanan rumah tangga. Selain itu, pendidikan ibu berpengaruh signifikan terhadap status gizi balita, terutama di daerah perkotaan."

"ABSTRACTThere is a growing interest in physical fitness lately, for physical fitness is believed to be important throughout life, to develop and maintain functional capability, to meet the demands of living and to promote optimal health (ACSM, 1968.). Physical fitness implies health plus, that is the extent to which a child or an adult is free from illness and free to work or play with maximum vigor and endurance (HALSEY & FOSTER, 1973). The interest in the physical fitness of children has also been increasing since the past decade (BARR-OR, 1989). As a matter of fact, being physically fit is relative to the tasks in which the individual must engage. For physical fitness is mostly related to muscular work, it should be noted that some degree of muscular activity is indeed required in all kinds of work, even the most intellectual occupations. Therefore, its importance is undoubtedly true in all walks of life (ASTRAND & RODAHL, 1987). In order to attain the desired physical performance, i.e. being fit, the human body, a biological machine, needs food for fuel. It is thus logical to expect that nutrition may well play a role in physical performance (THITGEY, CATALDO, ROLFES, 1987). Some studies have indeed supported the assumption. SATYANARAYANA et al (1977) demonstrated the relationship between body size and work output in male industrial workers. Several other studies on young boys and adolescents showed similar relationship. The subjects, recorded as having been malnourished in their early childhood, failed to perform as expected (SATYANARAYANA et al, 1979; SPURR, et al, 1983). It is then generally considered that individuals with low body weight and height may not have reached their full genetic potential as a consequence of inadequate food intake in early childhood, leading to lower capacity to perform their daily tasks. While some findings have shown the adverse effect of under nutrition on the physical performance of the individuals later in life, little is known as to how far nutrition influences physical fitness during childhood. The idea is, the earlier the adverse effect is detected, and the sooner actions can be made. Unfortunately, data about this subject are scanty. Some experts, however, have put forward the emphasis on the well-being of a specific group - the school children, in particular those at elementary schools (ADAMS et al, 1961; AGARWAL et al, 1987). It has been long recognized that the elementary school period is the most decisive stage in a person's life as it is at this particular time that many important norms are implanted on the learners. Moreover, the elementary school years are nutritionally significant because this period is a preparation for the rapid growth of adolescence (Mc WILLIAMS, 1974; WENCK, BAREN, DEWAN, 1984). In the case of nutrition and physical fitness of elementary school children, the whole school community - parents, teachers, and school children -- is concerned. This is in line with the Alma Ata Declaration which states that people have the right and duty to participate individually and collectively in the planning and implementation of their healthy care (WHO, 1978). This concept has been adopted by the Indonesian government and it is reflected in the Indonesian National Health System (MINISTRY ON HEALTH R.I., 1982). The WHO-based declaration reflects the growing conviction that an individual choice of healthy lifestyle is the key factor and that emphasis should be placed on the positive actions that individuals and communities could take to maintain and promote health (STROOT, 1989). As a rule, healthy lifestyle is best to be taught during the elementary school period; but actions, nevertheless, can be expected when base-line information has been available. Only then it is hoped that parents will be convinced that "academic" performance, which has sometimes been overemphasized, would? "

"Tahapan perkembangan yang paling penting pada masa balita adalah periode usia bawah tiga tahun. Pada masa ini perilaku ibu dalam memenuhi kebutuhan nutrisi akan berpengaruh terhadap status gizi balita. Tujuan dari penelitian adaiah teridentifikasinya hubungan antara perilaku ibu dcngan status gizi balita.Desain yang digunakan adalah potong lintang, dengan besar sampel yang diteliti 100 orang. Pengumpulan data mcngenai status gizi dilakukan dengan penimbangan berat badan anak kemudian membandingkan dengan indeks BB/U. Sedangkan untuk perilaku ibu melalui kuesioner dan penilaian asupan makanan balita. Analisa statistik dilakukan dengan uji Chi Square, dan untuk melihat faktor yang paling dominan mempengaruhi status gizi batita digunakan uji regresi logistik ganda pemodelan faktor resiko dengan metode enter. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara perilaku ibu dengan status gizi balita (p value = 0,050).Hasil analisis multivariat mcnunjukkan bahwa variabei tingkat pendidikan sebagai faktor confounding dalam hubungan antara periiaku ibu dalam memenuhi kebutuhan gizi dan status gizi balita. Variabel yang paling dominan mempengaruhi status gizi balita adalah tingkat pendidikan ibu. Saran yang diajukan adalah agar dilakukan peningkatan pengetahuan gizi khususnya mengenai perilaku ibu dalam memenuhi kebutuhan gizi kepada para ibu dari para kader dengan melakukan berbagai pelatihan.

The most important development period at less than five years old is children under three years (toddler). In this period, mother behavior to fulfill requirement of nutrition will give an impact on the-status of nutrition of the toddler. The purpose of this research was to identify the relationship between mother behavior and the status of nutrition of the toddler.

This study used cross sectional design which was the samples of 100 children. Data collection on status of nutrition was examining by scale of child body weight and then compare with the index of BB/U. The mother behavior was by a questioner and assessment of toddler food intake. Chi square was used to examine the relationship between mother behavior and status of nutrition of the toddler. To determine the dominant factor influence status of nutrition of the toddler used double logistic regression test, model of risk factor by enter method. The result of this study was shows that there are significant relation between mother behavior and status of nutrition of the toddler (p value = 0,050).

Multivariate analysis result indicated that the mother education level as a confounding factor on relation between mother behavior to fulfill requirement of nutrition and status of nutrition of the toddler. The conclusion of this study was the mother's education level is dominant variable that influence status of nutrition of the toddler. The suggestion was in order to increase knowledge of nutrition especially regarding mother behavior in fulfill requirement of nutrition by various training for all mothers and health social workers."
