Abstract
Introduction: Stunting is a major nutritional problem in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting in DKI Jakarta province was relatively high at 27.5 in 2013 and 17.7 in 2018. This study aims to describe nutrient intakes of children aged 25-30 months and to determine the proportional differences in nutrient intakes between stunting and normal children in Central Jakarta Indonesia. Methods: A case-control study with a total sample of 121 children aged 25-30 months was conducted in Gambir and Sawah Besar sub-districts Central Jakarta where the prevalence of stunting was high. All children were exclusively breastfed for at least four months and had similar socio-economic levels. Data collected included height measurement questionnaire based interview and 24-hour food recall. T-test and chi-square test were used to investigate the differences between two groups and logistic regression was used in multivariate analysis. Results: Factors associated with stunting were energy intake (AOR6.0; 95 CI1.0-35.0) and protein intake (AOR4.0; 95 CI1.1-15.5) after controlling for fat carbohydrate vitamin C iron and zinc intakes. The percentage of children with energy intake below the recommendation was much higher in stunted children (86.1) compared to normal children (43.5). Similarly the percentage of children with protein intake below the recommendation was very much higher among stunted children (30.6) compared to 8.2 in normal children. Conclusion: Children who lacked energy and protein intakes were at a higher risk of stunting than children who had sufficient intakes. Macro nutrient intakes are important and should be consumed in sufficient quantities every day to prevent stunting.
