Abstrakt: Despite the fact that Indonesia has established nutrition and health measures to prevent childhood malnutrition, more than 70% of children aged 2 to 5 consume less iron than the Indonesian dietary recommendations. Iron deficiency harms children's cognitive and motor development, and increases morbidity. Sixty-five to 72% of children's daily calories are consumed at home, hence the environment is crucial. The purpose of this study is to observe if the iron and vitamin C consumption of children aged 2 to 6 in Pejagalan, North Jakarta, is related to their eating environment. A total of 191 samples was examined. To assess children's intake, 2x24h food recalls were performed. A modified version of the NHANES CBQ was used to assess the home food environment. SPSS Version 20 was used to perform Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression. The iron and vitamin consumption of the subjects was lower than the estimated average requirement (EAR) for Indonesia. It was shown that children who had more access to fruits and vegetables ingested more iron and vitamin C. Iron consumption was enhanced by fruits, vegetables, sweets, and sugar sweetened beverages. Fruit accessibility (p<0.05) and availability (p<0.05) were related to vitamin C consumption. A variety of home food environment characteristics such as the availability and accessibility of food, are related to a child's consumption, particularly of micronutrients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
