Abstract

The level of adequacy of protein nutrients, calcium is an important nutrient in the growth of children. Low protein and calcium intake is a risk factor for stunting. Albumin has a function to help the formation of new cellular tissues in the body at the time of growth and speed up the healing process of body tissues. The purpose in this study is to determine the difference of protein intake, calcium intake and serum albumin levels of stunted Elementary School No.27, Bengkulu City. Using of case control design on the total sample consist of 20 children stunting and 20 children not stunting. The results of independent t-test to indicate that there is a difference of protein intake in stunting and not stunting children, but no difference in calcium intake and serum albumin levels in stunting and not stunting.The next researchers can associate other biomarkers such as serum zinc, serum calcium, and growth hormone in children stunting.
