was conducted to determine the nutritional status of the child, so the nutrition
problem can be treated as soon as possible. The result of the study indicate that of
the 7 (58 %) childrens had approading the 2013 AKG height, 5 childrens (42 %)
not approading the 2013 AKG height. And 3 childrens (25 % ) normal weight, 3
childrens (25 %) obesity and 6 childrens (50 %) under weight. So, severe
undernutrition, undernutrition, overnutrition, and obesity still found on 8 year old
child.
1. Introduction
Improvement of nutrition is needed starting from the time pregnancy, babies and
toddlers, preschoolers, elementary school, adolescent and adult children to old
age. Primary school children is a strategic target for improvement community
nutrition because of the childhood function brain organs begin to form steadily so
intelligence development is quite rapid. Child Elementary School (SD) is a child
aged 6-12 year 1. Child growth and development badly in need of adequate
nutrition so there is no deviation in growth and child development. Poor nutrition
also will make the immune system in children weak. Activities that are quite high
and irregular eating habits in children often resulting in imbalances between
nutrient intake and adequacy. Imbalance between intake and Adequacy of
nutrition will cause problems nutrition, both the problem of over nutrition and
nutrition less.
Nutrition problems in Indonesia still dominated by malnutrition problems, namely
Protein Energy Deficiency (KEP), iron anemia, Iodine Deficiency Disorders
(IDD), and lack of vitamin A. Besides that there are also nutritional problems
other microstructure such as zinc deficiency until now it hasn't been revealed
because the limitations of science and nutritional technology. Nutritional
deficiencies can also be achieved cause infectious diseases that become cause of
death.
Broadly speaking, there are three main factors which can cause nutritional
problems, namely host factors, agents, and environment. Factor host includes:
genetic factors, age, type sex, ethnic group, physiological condition,
immunological conditions, nutritional requirements, and someone's habits.
Agency factors include: nutritional factors, chemistry from the outside, chemistry
from within, physiology, genetics, psychology, physical strength, and biological /
parasite. Whereas environmental factors includes: physical, biological, social
environment, economy, and culture. Nutritional problems can be seen from the
imbalance between factors host, agency, and environment .
