Abstract: Malnutrition is main
cause of nearly half of the children death in developing countries. Millennium
Develop-ment Goals is to reduce the incidence of malnutrition by half in 2015.
The root factors of malnutrition are poverty, low education levels and low
access to health care centers, while the direct cause of malnutrition is lack
of nutrient intake, either macro or micro nutrients. The aim of this study was
to analyze risk factors of sufficient levels of macro and micro nutrients on
the incidence of stunted children aged 1-3 years. This study was the first
phase of an experimental study with cross sectional design. Inclusion criteria
of the subjects were z-score W / A <-1 SD, did not have a chronic disease,
and had approval statement from their parents to be a subject in this study.
Body length was measured with wooden board, body height was measured with
microtoise, and body weight was measured with the balance scales. Sufficient
levels of nutrients was 80% of RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for children
aged 1-3 years. Wasted, stunted and underweight cases were 9.78%, 57.61%, and
46.74% respectively. The lower suficient levels of energy, protein, vitamin B2,
vitamin B6, Fe, and Zn became risk factors of stunted, which were 2.52 (p =
0.035), 3.46 (p = 0.008); 2.76 (p = 0.028), 4.34 (p = 0.002), 3.25 (p = 0.009),
2.67 (p = 0.025) respec-tively. This study conclude that lower sufficient
levels of energy, protein, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, Fe, and Zn were risk factors
on the incidence of stunted children aged 1-3 years in the shantytowns of
Surakarta.
