Penundaan Makanan Padat Mengurangi Risiko Timbulnya Atopi pada Anak
ABSTRACT: Nutritions plays
an important role
in the incidence
of atopic both
in children and
adults. Several recent guidelines recommend a delay of solid
foods to prevent atopic disease. However, until now, there is still much controversy
about the influence a delay of solid foods in children to develop atopic disease. This study aimed to determine the
impact of the start time of solid foods to atopic children. A case-control
study was conducted in outpatient institutions Pediatrics RSSA Malang from May
2008 until May 2009. Respondents were divided into two groups: atopic (cases)
and non atopic (control) based on history of atopic disease. The age of first given
solid food and familial atopic were retrieved based on history. Statistical
analysis using Chi-square test at 95%
level of confidence, was conducted to determine the impact of the start
time of solid food to the incidence of atopic. There were 236 patients divided
equally into atopic and control group. Giving solid foods at 4-6 months of age
will increase the risk of atopic compared with age> 6 months (OR 2.8 (1.29
to 6.07), p = 0.007). The results of this study support the recommendations
given by WHO, that the postponement of solid food until age 6 months would
reduce the incidence of atopic risk in children.
