Abstract
REASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS (WEIGHT OF AGE) FOR CHILDREN 0-59 MONTHS USING NATIONAL DATA SUSENAS 1989-2005 COMPARISON OF WHO STANDARDS AND NCHS REFERENCE
In April 2006, the World Health Organization has launched new standards for assessment
growth and development of children 0 to 5 years of age. This new standards should be
adopted in all countries. Nationally, Indonesia has been collecting anthropometric data for
children under five since 1989 up to 2005 through periodic socio-economic national survey
(SUSENAS). The nutritional status based on weight for age using NCHS reference has been
assessed to monitor the change of underweight prevalence, especially at provincial and
national level. The new standards need to be applied for reassessing the underweight
prevalence as part of adoption process. The primary source of data is the 1989-2005
Susenas’ Surveys, both the household data, and the individual data, along with the
nutrition module. Weight for Age data on nutritional status is described in Z scores from
both the NCHS international reference and new WHO standards. Descriptive analyses were
carried out reviewing the trend of underweight prevalence from 1989 to 2005, mean weight
of children under five both for sexes, the prevalence of underweight across the provinces
and by age groups as well both sexes, mean z-scores by age and quintiles, and distribution
by quintiles. The results from reassessment showed that the prevalence of moderate
underweight generally higher using new WHO standard compared to NCHS/WHO
referenceduring the first half infancy 0-5 months and lower for the age above 6 months.
However, the prevalence of severe underweight generally higher based on WHO standard
compared to NCHS/WHO reference. Differences in prevalence between WHO standard and
NCHS reference vary by location (urban, rural), economic status depend, age group, sex, or
other population characteristics.
