Abstract

Stunting remains a global health problem. Indonesia is one of the country with the highest stunting prevalence. Stunting can cause an increase fat mass which is a risk factor for the diseases related to metabolic disorders. Fat mass is influenced by epigenetic, environmental and genetic factors. This study analyzed the relationship of energy intake, sex, physical activity with fat mass in stunting teens. Quantitative cross-sectional study design, conducted from April to July 2015 in 8 schools (elementary, junior high schools) in Jatinangor sub-district at students aged 10-14 years old (112 people). ). Energy intake and physical activity was interviewed using a 24 hour recall questionnaire. Measurement of fat mass using Bioimpedance Analyzer TANITA SC-240MA, height with Seca-213 stadiometer. The results showed subjects had less energy intake (53.52%), light physical activity (79.34%) but fat mass was not high. There was a significant correlation between energy intake and fat mass (p=0.02), significant correlation between sex and fat mass (p = 0.00) but no significant association between physical activity and fat mass in stunting teens (p> 0.05). In conclusion any changes in energy intake in stunting teenagers will affect the fat mass, as well as sex, but physical activity does not affect the fat mass.
