Severe wasting merupakan salah satu permasalahan gizi pada tingkat global, Asia
maupun di Indonesia termasuk di Kota Tangerang. Berdasarkan Data Riskesdas Tahun
2018 balita severe wasting di Indonesia sebesar 3,5%, Provinsi Banten 4,58%,
sedangkan Kota Tangerang lebih tinggi dibanding Indonesia dan Provinsi Banten yaitu
sebesar 4,84%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui determinan severe wasting
pada balita 6-59 bulan di Kota Tangerang Tahun 2019. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian
kuantitatif dengan desain kasus kontrol. Total sampel sebanyak 108 balita (kasus 36
balita, kontrol 72 balita). Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat,
bivariat dengan chi square dan multivariat dengan analisis regresi logistik. Penelitian
dilakukan pada bulan April-Mei 2019 di 13 Kecamatan di Kota Tangerang. Hasil
analisis bivariat adalah secara statistik tidak ada hubungan antara asupan energi, asupan
karbohidrat, asupan lemak, asupan protein, ASI eksklusif, keberagaman makanan, status
imunisasi, perilaku mencuci tangan, kunjungan posyandu, tingkat pendidikan dan
penghasilan orang tua dengan severe wasting, tapi terdapat hubungan antara penyakit
infeksi dengan severe wasting. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa penyakit
infeksi berhubungan signifikan dengan severe wasting. Hasil analisis didapatkan bahwa
OR dari variabel penyakit infeksi adalah 4,828 (95% CI: 1,034 – 22,544) artinya balita
yang terkena penyakit infeksi memiliki risiko terjadi severe wasting 4,828 kali lebih
tinggi dibanding balita yang tidak terkena penyakit infeksi setelah dikontrol variabel
status imunisasi. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah penyakit infeksi merupakan
determinan severe wasting pada balita 6-59 bulan di Kota Tangerang Tahun 2019.

Title : Determinant of Severe Wasting Among 6-59 Months Children
in Tangerang City 2019

Severe wasting is one of Global Nutritional Problems and Tangerang City is no
exception. Based on Riskesdas data in 2018, 3.5% of children in Indonesia were in the
group with severe wasting problems. While in Banten Province and Tangerang City
were found in order 4.58% and 4.84% children are in severe wasting problems. This
study aims to determine the determinants of severe wasting problems of 6-59 months
children in Tangerang City on 2019. This research was a quantitative study with case
control design. The total sample were 108 children within the age of 6-59 months (case
36 children, controls 72 children). The results of bivariate analysis were statistically no
relation between energy intake, carbohydrate intake, fat intake, protein intake, exclusive
breastfeeding, food diversity, immunization status, hand washing behavior, posyandu
visits, education level, and parent income with severe wasting, but there was a relation
between infectious diseases with severe wasting. The results of multivariate analysis
showed that infectious disease was significantly associated with severe wasting. The
most dominant variable was infectious disease, while immunization status as controlling
variable. Analysis result to be found that OR of the infectious disease variable was
4.828 (95% CI: 1.034 - 22.544), meaning that group of children at the age of 6-59
months with infectious diseases had a risk of severe wasting 4.828 times higher. In a
conclusion, Infectious Disease was a determinant variable of severe wasting problems
among children of the age 6-59 months in Tangerang City 2019.
