Keywords:
Anemia, children nutritional, food security, hemoglobinAbstract
Context: Household food security and Nutritional Status. Aims: to explore the association of household food security and nutrition status among children under 2 years old in East Kolaka District, South East Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.
Methods and Material: Household food security was measured using a short version of United States Security Survey Module (US–HFSSM) questionnaire. Nutritional status of children under five measured by anthropometric measurement with indicator z–score of WHZ, WAZ, and HAZ. Hemoglobin measurement was done using portable hemoglobin photometer with cyanmethemoglobin method. Settings and Design: cross sectional. Statistical analysis used: Chi Square.
Results: More than half of the households (53.80 %) were categorized as high or marginal food secure, 34 % food insecure without hunger and 11.4 % food insecurity with hunger. Prevalence of underweight, stunted, wasted, and anemia of under 2 years old children in this area were 15.9 %, 20.5 %, 8.4 % and 63.6%. There was no significant association between household food security status with underweight, stunting, and wasting (p= 0.714, p= 0.94, p=0.25). Anemia in children who suffer food insecure household with hunger was significantly higher than those in children from food secure households (p= 0.037).
Conclusions: There was no significant association between household food security status and under 2 years old children nutritional status. However anemia in children from food insecure household with hunger was significantly higher than those in children from food secure households.
