Food Diversity and Frequency of eating of Infant and Young Child Based on Region of Residence in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia
Children under two years area a period of rapid physical growth, which requires the most nutritional intake compared to the following periods, but often infant and young child feeding (IYCF) is not optimal which has an impact on nutrition and health problems. The purpose of the study was to determine the food diversity and frequency of feeding of infants and children in urban and rural areas of Bengkulu Province, and the factors that influence it. The study used a cross-sectional design from the 2017 IDHS data. The sample was women of childbearing age 15-49 years who had children aged 6-24 months, as many as 73 children with a stratified two-stage sampling technique. Bivariate analysis used the chi-square to describe the characteristics of families, mothers, and children, and the practice of IYCF in urban and rural areas. Bivariate analysis is also the stage of selection of candidate variables for multivariate analysis (p≤0.25). Multivariate analysis using multivariate binary logistic regression test. The results of the study found that 77.4% in urban areas and 91.5% in rural areas did not meet the recommendations. By 32.9% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas, the frequency of eating does not match the recommendations. As many as 83.9% in urban areas and 91.5% in rural areas, the practice of IYCF is not in accordance with the recommendations. There is no difference in IYCF practice between urban and rural areas. Factors related to the practice of IYCF are pregnancy planning and antenatal care (ANC) quantity. Unplanned pregnancies had a risk of 4.8 times (OR= 4,862; 95% CI=1,04-22,725) the practice of IYCF was not as recommended compared to the intended pregnancies. The quantity of antenatal care that was not at risk was 4.8 times the practice of IYCF was not as recommended compared to the quantity of good ANC (OR= 4.894; 95% CI=1.00-24.073). Pregnancy planning needs to be an educational material for young women, and an increase in efforts to increase knowledge of pregnant women about IYCF during antenatal care through nutrition counseling programs or classes for pregnant women.
