“…Several studies have found that the incidence of anemia is higher in families with low incomes. This is different with Ahmad research which states that children of working mothers are 8.29 times more possibly to suffer from iron deficiency (Ahmad et al, 2018). The workload can affect the mother's own nutrition and health, resulting in a decreased capacity to carry out other activities such as child-rearing.…”

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the health problems in Indonesian children that need special attention because it has an impact not only for now but also on the upcoming time. The si Embul innovation program is a comprehensive activity that includes growth and development checks, evaluation of exclusive breastfeeding, identification of anemia by checking the baby’s hemoglobin, and consultations with nutritionists and doctors. Methods: This research used descriptive correlational with a cross-sectional research design. The sample was all children aged 6-24 months who are included in the Si Embul Program at the Tegalrejo Health Center in 2017-2019 as much as 149 children. The univariate analysis describes the characteristics of the research subjects. Relationship between the Si Embul Program and anemia status analyze using bivariate analysis, carried out with chi-square at a significant level of 5%. The research was carried out using secondary data in patient medical record and register books and taken from both books. Results: The incidence of anemia was more common in female respondents as many as 31 people (20.81%). Based on the baby's birth weight, the incidence of anemia was more common in BBLN (normal birth weight) as many as 50 people (33.55%). The Si Embul program was associated with anemia status in children aged 6-24 months with a p-value of 0.004 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The si Embul program was associated with anemia status in children aged 6-24 months with a p-value of 0.004. This shows that the excistence of Si embul program can reduce the incidence of anemia in children aged 6-24 months.

“…Children who are not exclusively breastfed are 11.33 times more likely to suffer from iron deficiency (Ahmad et al, 2018). Breastfeeding in infants can prevent anemia, iron absorption in infants from breast milk increases with the increasing age of the baby.…”

“…exclusive breastfeeding met the MMF at about 74%, the MDD at about 50%, and the MAD at about 40% (of 392 children aged 6 until 23 months) (Ahmad et al 2019). Previously in 2018, only 28.6% of children met the MDD, 33.1% did the MMF, and around 23.4% did the MAD (of 154 children) in Aceh (Ahmad et al 2018). These figures were still relatively low.…”

This study aimed to assess the fulfillment of the Minimum Dietary Diversity for children (MDD), the Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF), and the Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) and analyze the correlation between individual, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics and the MAD in children between the ages of 6 and 23 months in Indonesia. This study used a cross-sectional study design. The subjects were 798 children between the ages of 6 and 23 months in Indonesia from a National Total Diet Study. The data collection on the MDD, the MMF, and the MAD used twenty-four-hour dietary recall. The chi-square and multiple logistic regression models were applied in this study with a p-value<0.05 considered significant predictors of outcome variables. The MDD, MMF, and MAD were met by 63.9%, 91.3%, and 61.8% of children, respectively. Significant positive relationships of child's age, mother's educational status, and area of residence (p<0.001) to the MAD. The determinants factors of MAD were the child's age (p<0.05; OR=7.06; 95% CI:3.46–14.38) and area of residence (p<0.05; OR=1.61; 95% CI:1.19–2.15). In conclusion, it is still necessary to improve the fulfillment of the MAD (a combined indicator of the MDD and the MMF). The government's role is to provide balanced nutritional child feeding programs based on local food, strengthen behavior change communication to meet nutritionally balanced complementary foods for children, and improve child nutrition services at posyandu.

The Indonesian Government’s targets to reduce the prevalence of child malnutrition are unlikely to be met based on current progress. Adequate dietary intake is key to meeting these targets. This systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the nutrient and food intake of Indonesian children under 5 years of age. Peer-reviewed and gray literature published between 2007 and 2019 were collected. Of 1500 records, 38 articles met the study inclusion criteria and a narrative analysis was conducted. Children under 5 years were reported to have ranging energy and macronutrient intakes, some with adequate protein intake. Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly iron, zinc, calcium, and vitamin C, were reported. Animal-source foods, fruits, and vegetables were consumed by children, but frequency and/or volume of consumption was low, and it is among the probable causes of micronutrient deficiency among children under 5 years. The absence of reporting micronutrient intake in the national survey limited evidence to inform nutrition-related policies. The implementation of a national micronutrient survey will be beneficial in informing policy and practice aimed at reducing the prevalence of child malnutrition in line with national targets, through improvement in dietary intake.
