Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study, was conducted in 271 children with nutrition examination at the Nutrition Clinic of Children's Hospital 2 from April to June 2023.
Results: Malnutrition rate of underweight, stunting, and wasting in the children was 25.09, 24.35, and 13.65%, respectively. The older the age, the higher the rate of eating enough carbohydrates and protein. The age group of 6 – < 9 months had the lowest rate of eating enough carbohydrates (2.38%) and protein (7.14%). The older the month, the lower the rate of eating enough lipids (. The age group with the lowest rate off 8.11% in children aged 12-24 months. Recommendation minimum energy was still low, accounting for 45.39%. The higher the group's energy from carbohydrates reaching the recommended range of 55 - 65%, the lower the rate of underweight malnutrition (p=0.042).
Conclusion: The ratio of malnutrition was still high. The young (aged 6-9 months) were at risk of carbohydrate and protein insufficiency, and the older (group aged 12-24 months) were at risk of lipid insufficiency. Mothers should be trained how to feed their children.
