Abstract

Dietary intakes are important for adolescent girls’ growth and development. Not all adolescents have an adequate daily intake, particularly in urban areas which have a high disparity of household income. This study was aimed to examine the relationship between household income and dietary intakes among adolescent girls in urban areas. This cross-sectional study included 132 subjects aged 12-16 years old, conducted in Junior high school in Surabaya City, East Java, Indonesia. Dietary intakes were obtained by using 24-hour dietary recall method. Spearman’s rank correlation was applied to analyse the association between household income and dietary intakes. High disparity of household income was found in this study with median IDR 4,000,000 (≈$308). Adolescent girls had low dietary intakes with median as follows, energy 1235kcal, protein 45.1g, fat 46.1g, carbohydrate 141.6g, iron 5.0mg, calcium 182.8mg. The proportion of energy from carbohydrate was 49.5%, fat 34.9% and protein 14.8%. There was a significant correlation between household income with protein intake (p=0.010, r=0.224) and energy proportion from protein (p=0.043, r=0.177). Generally, adolescent girls eat an unbalanced diet, with less carbohydrate and high fat. Urban adolescent girls with low household income have a low protein intake
