 BACKGROUND

 The 2000 report of the World Health Organization

(WHO) stated that 215 million children were stunted.//
215 juta anak terhambat pertumbuhannya.
 Several studies have assessed dietary pat- terns in
relation to numerous outcomes.// pola diet berkaitan
dengan berbagai hasil.
 Sebagian besar penelitian dilakukan diantara orang
dewasa di masyarakat Barat, informasi terbatas pada
pola diet anak-anak, khususnya di wilayah timur tengah
karena mereka tidak mendapatkan akses belajar dengan
baik .
 RUMUSAN MASALAH

 Apakah dengan anak-anak telah melakukan diet ?

 Mengapa diet menghambat pertumbuhan anak-anak
?
 Bagaimana asupan makanan anak-anak ?
 Seberapa sulitkah akses mendapatkan pelajaran di
masyarakat bagian Timur ?
 METODOLOGI

 Studi Design : Cohort (case control)

 Setting Sumber Data :
 Target Populasi & Sample :
-populasi : 3,147 first grade pupils aged 7 years,
who were selected using a multistage cluster random
sampling method from 42 elementary schools in 5
districts of Tehran (northern, southern, eastern,
western, and central part of Tehran

sample :394 students in total 3147

grup case = 86, grup control = 308
 METODOLOGI

 Pengukuran :
Whole population n = 3147
Cross sectional survey 3.7% higher in girls than boys
(4,4% vs 2,8%, p<0,05), mean birth weight lower in
stunted children (2.9±0,6kg vs 3.2±0,5 kg , p<0.05)
 Variabel : 86 stunted children (394 student in
total/stunting and non stunting)
 TEMUAN

 Univariate : Major dietary Pattern

 Bivariate : Major dietary pattern in relation to
stunting
 Multivariate : major dietary pattern in relation to
stunting and another variable such as demographic
charateristic, socioeconomic status, birthweight,
height, and duration of breast feeding
 KESIMPULAN

 We found that adherence to dietary patterns high in

protein (e.g. dairy, legumes, and meat products) and
carbohydrates (e.g. fruits, sweets, and desserts)
might be associated with reduced odds of being
stunted among children. Further studies are re-
quired to confirm our findings.
 IMPLIKASI HASIL

 Stunting is a heterogenous multi-factorial disorder

and besides dietary factors, other variabels, such as
hereditary factors and metabolic conditions must be
considered
