POLA KONSUMSI PANGAN YANG TIDAK SEIMBANG KAITANNYA DENGAN KEKURANGAN GIZI (STUNTING) PADA ANAK REMAJA DI PROPINSI JAWA TENGAH

Abstract

Background: According to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013 states that there is an increase of non-communicable diseases (PTM) which is one of the causes of changes in food consumption patterns. Low food consumption as a direct factor that can lead to malnutrition and major risks associated with PTM nutrition that can be seen from the high prevalence of stunting (short and very short). Stunting problems have a negative impact on child growth and development. The objectives of this study to determine the pattern of food consumption and the prevalence of stunting adolescents. Method: is a national scale survey with cross- sectional design. Taken from secondary data sourced from SDI, SKMI and Riskesdas research. Problem solving: Low amount of consumption from local staple food sources (cereals, tubers), consumption of protein sources from marine products, and consumption of vegetables and fruits will require a policy of diversifying staple food based on local food, increasing the potential of marine products, , and the availability of vegetables and fruit at an affordable price. Results: Adolescents in Central Java almost all consume rice (97.9%). Consumption of food in adolescents in Central Java is as follows, average consumption of rice as much as 173.8 g / person / day, consumption of noodles is 54.3 g / person / day, wheat is 13.3 g / person / day, cassava is 10 , 4 g / person / day, poultry meat is 30 g / person / day, sea fish is 12.8 g / person / day, banana fruits are 10.5 g / person / day, leaf vegetables is 52, 3 g / person / day. Conclusion: The pattern of food consumption has not been balanced, especially the low consumption of fish and fruit. Still found the prevalence of stunting is high in adolescents. The prevalence of stunting in male adolescents is greater than in young women who are predominantly in rural areas rather than in urban areas. Average energy sufficiency rate in adolescents in Central Java (<100% AKE) and mean of protein adequacy level also (<100% AKP).
