ABSTRACT

Anemia, particularly iron deficiency anemia, is one of the major public health nutrition problem in Indonesia. The prevalence is still high among high risk groups namely pregnant and lactating mother, children underfives, schoolage children, and woman of reproductive age. The major causes of anemia are low intake and low bloavailability of iron. However, vitamin A status and other nutrient Intakes have been reported to contribute to anemia. The study determines relative contribution of vitamin A status (serum retinal) to anemia. Samples are 173 children age 6-9 year old of poor households in Tasikmalaya and Ciamis districts. The study found the prevalence of anemia in children 6-9 year old is 14.5 percent and vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is 10.9 percent. Odds ratio of children suffering VAD on anemia is 3.33 (p=0.063, 95%Cl 0.93-11.84) after controlling for intakes of energy, protein, and vitamin B12.
