Abstract:
Nutritional status monitoring in Indonesia is done with the help of health card called KMS (Kartu Menuju Sehat) based on the WHO 2005 standard. The standard is based on data from six countries that are less representative of the Asian region, so it can affect the accuracy of nutritional status assessment in Indonesia. Bondowoso Regency is one of the areas that has quite high stunting cases. The high stunting case is probably caused by the lack of accuracy of WHO 2005 to determines the nutritional status of children in Bondowoso. The goal of this paper is to design standart growth chart of height for ages of children in Bondowoso, Indonesia. The growth chart design which is based on the z-score curve using least square spline is suitable in modeling the growth of children that tend to change at every age. Z-score for estimating the growth chart is calculated based on LMS methods. Based on the results of the analysis, both boy and girl curves satisfy the goodness of fit criterion with average R-square value 98.94% for boys and average R-square value of 98.78% for girl. The growth curves for children height in Bondowoso has a lower standard compared to WHO 2005.
