TURNITIN_FOOD CONSUMPTION AND NUTRITIONAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STATUS OF 05 TILL 12 YEARS OLD INDONESIAN CHILDREN THE SEANUTS STUDY
Indonesia is currently facing the double burden of malnutrition. While undernutrition is still a major public health problem, the prevalence
of overnutrition is increasing. The objective of the South East Asian Nutrition Survey (SEANUTS) was to provide up-to-date data on nutritional
status, food consumption and biochemical parameters related to nutrition for children aged 0·5–12 years. The SEANUTS study in
Indonesia was conducted in a nationwide representative sample of 7·211 children using multistage cluster sampling based on probability
proportional to size, stratified for geographical location, in forty-eight out of 440 districts/cities. The results show that the growth (weight
for age, height for age, weight for height and BMI for age) of Indonesian pre-school- and school-aged children is below the WHO standards.
The older the children, the more the deviation from the WHO standard curves. Underweight was more prevalent in rural areas
(28·9 v. 19·2 %) and overweight/obesity was observed to be more widespread in urban areas (5·6 v. 3·2 %). The prevalence varied with
age groups and sexes. The overall prevalence of stunting was 25·2 and 39·2% in urban and rural areas, respectively. The prevalence of
anaemia was nearly 55% in children aged 0·5–1·9 years and ranged from 10·6 to 15·5% in children aged 2–12 years. Fe deficiency
was observed in 4·1–8·8% of the children. The percentage of children with dietary intakes of energy, protein, and vitamins A and C below the Indonesian RDA was high and differed across urban and rural areas and age groups.
