Abstract

Monitoring the growth of children under two years old needs to be carried out regularly to determine trends in nutritional status. Nutritional anthropometric data such as weight/age, height/age, and weight/height are important indicators in assessing nutritional status. The aim of this study was to analyze nutritional status based on the z-score of three anthropometric indices. This is a cross-sectional using secondary data taken web E-PPGBM from the year 2019-2022 in Samosir district. Around 17,349 data were taken from the web. The type of data collected was sex, age, birth weight and length, weight, and height of children aged 0-24 months. The z-score of weight/age, height/age, and weight/height was then analyzed by presenting the trend of each indicator. On average, there was an increase in z-score of weight/age and height/age in children aged 0-5 months and 6-11 months for girls and boys but not for weight/height. When entering aged 12-23 months z-score, girls z-score tend to decrease and boys ten to increase. However the range of z-score from -1.0 to 0.5. This study found that z-score of girls is higher than boys when they on ranged of age 0-12 months but when entering aged 13 months and upper, boys are more likely to have better nutrition than girls. Z-scores of three anthropometric indices in web  E-PPGBM is powerful for analyzing nutrition trend.
