Hubungan antara Asupan Energi dengan Status Gizi pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar Citra Kasih Manado

Abstract: According to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), nutritional issues in Indonesia particularly stunting, wasting, and overweight, remain significant challenges. This study aimed to determine the relationship between energy intake and nutritional status among students at SD Citra Kasih Manado. This was an observational and analytical study using primary data collected through anthropometric measurements and 24-hour food recall. The results obtained 83 students of grades 4, 5, and 6 as samples. There were 7.2% of the children had inadequate energy intake, 65.1% had adequate energy intake, and 27.7% had excessive energy intake. Meanwhile, the percentage of children who were underweight was 1.2%, normal weight was 62.7%, overweight was 24.1%, and obese was 12%. The Spearman correlation test showed a significant relationship between energy intake and nutritional status (p<0.001). In conclusion, the majority of students at SD Citra Kasih Manado have adequate energy intake and normal nutritional status, and there is a significant relationship between energy intake and nutritional status among them. Keywords: energy intake; nutritional status; elementary school students    Abstrak: Menurut United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), permasalahan gizi di Indonesia, terutama stunting, wasting, dan overweight, masih menjadi tantangan utama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara asupan energi dengan status gizi pada siswa SD Citra Kasih Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang menggunakan data primer melalui pengukuran antropometri dan food recall 24 hours.  Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 83 siswa kelas 4, 5, dan 6 sebagai sampel. Persentase siswa dengan asupan energi kurang mencapai 7,2%, sementara 65,1% siswa memiliki asupan energi yang baik, dan 27,7% lainnya mengalami asupan energi lebih. Status gizi siswa menunjukkan bahwa 1,2% berada dalam kategori kurus, 62,7% memiliki status gizi normal, 24,1% tergolong overweight, dan 12% mengalami obesitas. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan hubungan bermakna antara asupan energi dengan status gizi (p<0,001). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah sebagian besar siswa SD Citra Kasih Manado memiliki asupan energi dan status gizi normal, serta terdapat hubungan bermakna antara asupan energi dengan status gizi siswa.
