Levels of Vitamin A, zinc, children aged 6-23 months.Abstract
The issue of macro nutrients in Indonesia and in developing countries particularly relate to the and Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM), since several decades is slowly shifting into a double nutritional problems, starting from the problem of Nutritional Anemia Iron, Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), Disorders Iodine deficiency (GAKI). Less micronutrients (vitamin A and zinc) is one of the factors that influence the incidence of chronic malnutrition. LNS is designed to prevent malnutrition, linear growth of the baby and should facilitate the recovery of moderate acute malnutrition. Objective: This study aimed to determine the status of vitamin A and Zinc among baduta aged 6-23 months in the Middle East South East Nusa Tenggara is based on the characteristics of respondents; age of children, child gender, maternal occupation, job father, mother's education, educational father, Vitamin A and Zinc status. Methods: The population in this study is the family who lived in the WFP target areas and selected from research sites with cross sectional study design. Sample frame is families with children 6-23 months at selected locations with the research subjects were infants aged 6-23 months as many as 720 people. Results showed that of the 720 samples obtained in this study sample by gender characteristics mostly male (53.8%), age group baduta mostly at age 12-24 months (57.1%), Most of father job are farmers ( 69.3%), whereas mothers job are housewives (81.5%), education father mostly <9 years (60.3%), most of the mother's education <9 years (66.3), largely lacking zinc status (86.8%) and status Vitamin A mostly less (70.3%).
Bivariate analysis using Chi Square test showed that gender, age group of baduta, work father, mother's occupation, education of father and mother's education were significantly associated with vitamin A status (p <0.05) whereas the zinc status variables related jobs only father, maternal education and age groups baduta. The most pertinent factor of test results Multiple Regression Liner is the work of the father. In conclusions, factors related to vitamin A status is gender, baduta age, mother's education and father and mother and father job while factors relating to the status of a job only zinc father, mother and sex education. Based on Multiple Linear Regression Test determinant variables obtained for vitamin A and zinc status is the work of the father.
