Penggunaan Label Gizi dan Konsumsi Makanan Kemasan pada Anggota Persatuan Diabetisi Indonesia
Abstract: The prevalence of
non communicable disease-related to diet such as diabetes mellitus and
hypertension is increased in Indonesia. One of the causes is increased
consumption of unhealthy foods. Nutrition label is projected as a helpful tool
to make healthy choice for consumption of packaged foods. Objective of the
study is to identify the relationship between the practice of using nutrition
label and consumption of packaged food among members of a diabetes community in
Yogyakarta. Method: This study was an observational analytic design with cross
sectional approach. Subjects of the study were 55 active members of Persatuan
Diabetisi Indonesia (Persadia) of Yogakarta Municipality Hospital, obtained by
consecutive sampling. Data of practice in nutrition label use was assessed
using a validated questionnaire, while consumption of packaged foods was
collected using Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ).
Chi-square test at significance level of 0.05 was employed for analyzing the
data. Results: Chi square test showed insignificant relationship between the
use of nutrition label and consumption of packaged foods, as indicated by p
value of 0.176 and confidence interval of 0.62-11.39. Moreover, most of the
subjects (80%) had high level of packaged foods consumption, particularly for
fat and natrium intake. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship
between practice of using nutrition label and consumption of packaged foods
among members of Persatuan Diabetisi Indonesia of Yogyakarta District Hospital.
