ABSTRACT

Tamansari district is one of areas in Tasikmalaya that has health problem; it can be seen by prevalence of malnutrition and less nutrition are quite high with stunting prevalence on toddler of 13,17%. The aim of this study wastoknowthe correlation between Energy, Protein, and Zink intake and History of Infectious Disease with stunting case on toddler in Tamansarisub-districts Tasikmalayain 2016. A case control study was conducted on toddler age of 7-59 months of 112 stunting toddler and 112 non-stunting toddler. The collected data is in form of energy, protein, and zink intake and history of infectious disease. Result Shows there was no significant difference in energy intake between stunting and non stunting group (p> 0,05). In other hand, there was significant difference in protein intake between two grops there value = 0,003. Moreover, there was significant difference in zink intake between two grops with p value = 0,000, and there was correlation between History of Infectious disease and stuntingon toddler with p value = 0,008 in Tamansarisub-districts Tasikmalaya. Protein and zink intake are protective factor and history of Infectious diseasebecomes risk factor of stunting case on toddler in Tamansarisub-district Tasikmalaya in 2016.
