KEADAAN MIKROBIOTA SALURAN CERNA PADA ANAK SEKOLAH DASAR YANG MENGALAMI STUNTING DI LOMBOK BARAT
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to compare the population of gut microbiota between the normal height
and stunted in primary school children in West Lombok. The study design was
observational study with comparative design. The study involved 115 primary
school students with age 9-12 years old by simple random sampling. The research
data included the measurement of height for age and gut microbiota analysis of
faecal samples. Based on the results of t-test, the number of bacteria
Lactobacillus in stunting group (6.96±0.94 log CFU/g) were significantly (p
<0.05) lower than normal group (7,38±0,98 log CFU/g). The population of
Bifidobacteria, Enterobacter, and E. coli were not different between the two
group. However the trend of Bifidobacteria count in stunting group (8.19±0.74
log CFU/g) was lower than normal group (8.22±0.79 log CFU/g) while the number
of Enterobacter and E. coli in stunting group (7.82±0.68 and 7.03±0.97 log
CFU/g) were higher than the normal group (7.71±0.81 and 6.96±1.22 log CFU/g).
