Latar Belakang. Prevalensi balita wasting di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat
mencapai 10%, hal ini dapat memengaruhi tumbuh kembang anak balita. Hasil
penelitian sebelumnya menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara infeksi dan
asupan nutrisi terhadap wasting. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui
karakteristik balita, prevalensi wasting, dan asupan karbohidrat, protein, dan lemak
serta hubungannya terhadap wasting pada balita di Desa Sembalun Bumbung, NTB.
Metode. Studi potong lintang telah dilaksanakan dengan melibatkan 112 balita usia
6-59 bulan di Desa Sembalun Bumbung, Kecamatan Sembalun, Lombok Timur,
NTB pada Agustus 2019. Data antropometri berupa tinggi badan dan berat badan
diukur untuk menentukan status gizi. Wawancara menggunakan kuesioner
dilakukan untuk mendapatkan data demografi, sedangkan untuk mendapatkan
asupan makronutrien balita menggunakan multiple-pass 2x24 hour food recall
terhadap ibu balita. Data antropometri diolah menggunakan WHO Anthro Survey
Analyser, sedangkan kuesioner diolah dengan bantuan perangkat lunak Epidata
versi 4.4. Data asupan makanan dari food recall diolah menggunakan Nutrisurvey
2004. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Fisherâs Exact Test pada SPSS versi 20.
Hasil. Prevalensi balita wasting di Desa Sembalun Bumbung adalah 7%. Uji
bivariat menyatakan bahwa asupan karbohidrat, protein, dan lemak tidak memiliki
hubungan yang signifikan terhadap wasting (p>0.05).
Kesimpulan. Asupan karbohidrat, lemak, dan protein tidak memiliki hubungan
terhadap wasting pada balita usia 6-59 bulan di Desa Sembalun Bumbung
Background. Wasting prevalence in children under-five in Nusa Tenggara Barat
Province is 10%, while wasting is an important factor affecting childrenâs growth
and development. Current research shows that infection and nutrition intake affect
wasting. This research is aimed to identify characteristics, prevalence of wasting,
and association between carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake on wasting in children
under-five at Sembalun Bumbung Village, NTB.
Method. A cross sectional study was conducted in Desa Sembalun Bumbung,
Kecamatan Sembalun, Lombok Timur, NTB in August 2019; 112 children of 6-59
months age were recruited. Anthropometry data including height and weight was
obtained to analyze nutritional status. Childrenâs mothers were interviewed to
collect sociodemographic data and macronutrient intake through multiple multiplepass
2x24 hour food recall using food portion pictures from Indonesian Ministry of
Health. Anthropometry and questionnaire data were processed using WHO Anthro
Survey Analyser and Epidata version 4.4. According to Indonesian Ministry of
Health Food Composition Data, macronutrient intake from dietary recall was
processed using Nutrisurvey 2004. Statistical data was analyzed with Fisherâs Exact
Test using SPSS version 20.
Result. Wasting prevalence of children under-five in Sembalun Bumbung Village
was 7%. Bivariate analysis showed that carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake were
not statistically significant on wasting prevalence (p>0.05).
Conclusion. Carbohydrate, fat, and protein intake was not associated with wasting
in children under-five in Sembalunbumbung Village
