Sodium, Saturated Fat, and Sugar Added Intake of The Diet of Children 2-12 Years Old

Abstract

The aims of the study were to analyze intake of sodium, saturated fat (SFA), and added sugar of children 2-12 years old. For this purpose, 38.890 children 2-12 years old from the food consumption data of the basic health survey of the Ministry of Health were analyzed. The intake of sodium, SFA, and added sugar were calculated by using food composition table (FCT) of Indonesia and USDA, and from nutrition facts of labeled foods.The sodium and SFA calculated include both natural resources and which added to food and beverage products. The sugar added calculated include all sugar which added to food and beverage products. The results showed that the intake of sodium, SFA, and added sugar of each childern varies greatly. The mean of sodium, SFA, and added sugar intake was 1010.3 ± 963.5 mg, 10.9 ± 9,2 g, and 19.0 ± 35.1 g respectively. There were 30% of childern have excessive sodium intake, 28% of childern have excessive SFA intake (> 8%-e), and 14% of childern have excessive added sugar intake (> 10%-e). This implies that some childern exposed to high intake of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar.

Korelasi Status Gizi, Asupan Natrium, Asupan Serat terhadap Tekanan Darah: A Cross Sectional Study

“…Salah satu penyebab terjadinya hipertensi adalah peningkatan berat badan yang biasanya diikuti dengan peningkatan tekanan darah (Nurdiantami et al, 2018). Faktor lain penyebab hipertensi dari segi gizi adalah asupan natrium (Hardiansyah, Hardinsyah, & Sukandar, 2015;Darmawan et al, (2018). Berdasarkan hasil Survei Konsumsi Makanan Individu (SKMI) tahun 2014, rata-rata asupan natrium penduduk Indonesia usia di atas 5 tahun melebihi batas asupan sehari atau lebih dari 2000 mg/hari (Prihatini, Permaesih and Julianti, 2017).…”

The Role of Nutritional Status, Age, Genetic Factors, and Lifestyle on the Hypertension Prevalence among Community in Indonesian Coastal Area

“…Factors that influence the occurrence of hypertension are grouped into two major groups, namely the inherent or irreversible factors such as gender, age, genetics and modifiable factors (lifestyle) such as physical exercise habits, nutritional status, excessive sodium consumption, fat consumption, consumption of vegetables and fruit, coffee consumption, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, stress, and blood lipid levels. For the occurrence of hypertension need the role of these risk factors together (common underlying risk factor), in other words, one risk factor alone is not enough to cause hypertension [2]- [13].…”
