Status gizi dengan kadar hemoglobin pada anak usia 6-11 tahun
H emoglobin berfungsi sebagai pengangkut oksigen dan zat gizi yang dibutuhkanoleh tubuh.Kadar hemoglobin dapat mengalami peningkatan ataupun penurunan.Salah satu faktor penurunan kadar hemoglobin adalah status gizi. Status giziadalah keadaan yang diakibatkan oleh kesimbangan antara asupan zat gizi darimakanan yang berperan dalam pembentukan sel darah merah dan hemoglobin,apabila zat gizi kurang dapat menggangu produksi hemoglobin. Tujuan penelitianini untuk menganalisa hubungan antara status gizi dan kadar hemoglobin padaanak usia 6 – 11 tahun.METODERancangan penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross –sectional. Data dikumpulkan dengan pengukuran antropometri (berat badan dantinggi badan) dan pengukuran kadar hemoglobin pada 88 anak usia 6 – 11 tahunyang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Data dianalisis menggunakan ujiChi-Square dengan tingkat kemaknaan 0,05.HASILDari 88 responden, terbanyak diusia 9-11 tahun.Hasil menunjukkan bahwaterdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara usia dan kadar hemoglobin, danresponden terbanyak pada jenis kelamin laki-laki. Didapatkan92,0% memilikikadar hemoglobin normal dimana sebesar 37,5% status gizi normaldan 8,0%memiliki kadar hemoglobin rendah dimana sebesar 3,4% status gizi normal. Hasilanalisis menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara jenis kelamin danstatus gizi dengankadar hemoglobin (p=1,000).KESIMPULANTerdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara usia dan kadar hemoglobin.Tidakterdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara jenis kelamin dan status gizi dengankadar hemoglobin pada anak usia 6 – 11 tahun.
H emoglobin functions as a carrier of oxygen and nutrients needed by the body.Hemoglobin levels can increases or decreases. One factor in reducing hemoglobinlevels is nutritional status. Nutritional status is a condition caused by a balancebetween the intake of nutrients from food that plays a role in the formation of redblood cells and hemoglobin, if the nutrient intake is less its able to interfere withhemoglobin production. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationshipbetween nutritional status and hemoglobin levels in children aged 6-11 years.METHODThe design of this study was analytic observational with cross-sectional approach.Data were collected by anthropometric measurements (body weight and height)and measurement of hemoglobin levels in 88 children aged 6-11 years who metthe inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square testwith a significance level of 0.05.RESULTSFrom 88 respondents, Most respondents were aged 9-11 years.The results showedthat there is a significant relationship between age and hemoglobin levels,andmost respondents who shows significances were male gender. There were 92,0%had normal hemoglobin levels where 37,5% of it had normal nutritional status and8,0% had abnormal hemoglobin levels where as much as 34,0% of it had normalnutritional status. The analysis showed that there was no significant relationshipbetween sex and nutritional status with hemoglobin level (p = 1,000).CONCLUSIONThere is a significant relationship between age and hemoglobin level.There is nosignificant relationship between sex and nutritional status withthe hemoglobinlevels in children aged 6 – 11 years.
