Anak sekolah menghabiskan sebagian besar aktivitas sehari-hari di
sekolah. Mereka memerlukan asupan gizi yang cukup untuk pertumbuhan,
pemeliharaan tubuh, dan aktivitas sehari-hari. Makanan jajanan dapat memenuhi
sebagian kebutuhan gizi mereka, walaupun keamanannya masih diragukan
karena mengandung kontaminan kimia. Studi ini menilai kontribusi makanan
jajanan terhadap asupan gizi dan pajanan kontaminan di antara anak-anak
sekolah di Kecamatan Senen. Studi ini merupakan studi potong lintang dengan
metode pengambilan contoh secara purposif untuk sekolah dan acak untuk siswa
kelas 4 dan 5 SD. Beberapa metode yang digunakan antara lain wawancara
terstruktur, daftar ceklis makanan, 3 hari recall 24 jam, pengukuran antropometri,
dan analisis kimia kontaminan. Makanan jajanan berkontribusi sekitar seperlima
hingga sepertiga terhadap asupan gizi sehari. Kontaminan yang ditemukan
adalah formaldehid, siklamat, dan timbal. Sebagian subjek terpajan formaldehid
(9.2% jika menggunakan batas aman WHO, 77.6% jika menggunakan batas aman
BPOM) dan siklamat (11.8%) di atas batas aman individual mereka.
AbstractSchool children spent most of their daily activity at school. They need
adequate nutrient to provide their growth, body maintenance and daily activities.
Street food can provide some nutrient for their daily need, although its safety is
still doubtful due to presence of chemical contaminants. This study assessed the
contribution of street food to nutrient intake and contaminant exposure among
school children in Senen subdistrict, Jakarta, Indonesia. A cross sectional study
was done with purposive sampling of school and students from grade 4-5 selected
randomly. Several methods were used, such as structured interview, food
checklist, repeated 24 hour recalls, anthropometric measurement and chemical
analysis of contaminants. Street food contributed about one fifth to one third to
nutrient intake. Contaminants found in this study were formaldehyde, cyclamate
and lead. Some subjects were exposed to formaldehyde (9.2% using WHO cutoff,
77.6% using NADFC cutoff) and cyclamate (11.8%) above their individual safety
level.
