PREDIKSI PENINGKATAN FUNGSI MOTORIK DAN STATUS GIZI ANAK MALNUTRISI YANG ANEMIA SETELAH SUPLEMENTASI MULTI-MIKRONUTRIEN

Abstract

Cognitif and behavioral disorders in children often related to malnutrition. Malnutrition has strong correlation with micronutrients deficiency, both vitamin and mineral. Deficiency one of micronutrients occurs simultaneously with the other micronutrients, so the treatment with one type of micronutrients does not give any optimal effect. The aim of this study was to investigate effectivity of multimicronutrient supplementation drink on improving motoric function and nutritional status in malnutrition and anemic children. Result of this research showed that multi-micronutrient supplementation drink had the same effect with single-micronutrient on improving motoric function and nutritional status in malnutrition and anemic children.
