Abstract

Formula milk contains added sugar which causes faster weight gain in toddlers. Toddlers who consume formula milk have twice energy intake from added sugars and gain weight faster than toddlers who only consume breast milk. High amount of energy and protein intake can increase the release of the hormone insulin and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which can increase adipogenic activity and encourage weight gain. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between formula feeding and nutritional status according to body weight for age in toddlers aged 24–59 months in Sukoharjo. This research used quantitative research with cross-sectional design. The sample was 98 toddlers aged 24–59 months who consumed formula milk taken from three health centers in Sukoharjo using Multistage Random Sampling method. Data on formula feeding was taken by filling out questionnaire and 24-h food recall form for 4x24 hours, while data on the nutritional status of toddlers was obtained by measuring the toddler's weight. The analysis test used Pearson Product Moment statistical test. The results showed that the p-value of the relationship between the frequency and the amount of formula milk consumption and nutritional status according to body weight for age in children under five in Sukoharjo was 0.000 and 0.000, respectively. From these results, it can be concluded that the frequency and the amount of formula milk consumption has a significant relationship with the nutritional status of children under five according to body weight for age.
