Abstract


The problem of malnutrition and macronutrient deficit in toddlers remains a public health challenge, especially in Bima City, where the potential of local foods such as corn, sweet potatoes, and fish has not been optimally utilized. This quantitative observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design aims to analyze the relationship between local food utilization and energy and protein intake in toddlers aged 24–59 months in the Mpunda Community Health Center working area. The study population was 156 toddlers, with a sample of 67 toddlers selected by purposive sampling. Data collection used a local food Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) questionnaire and a 24-hour food recall interview for 2 non-consecutive days, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test (? = 0.05). The results showed that the majority of respondents had good local food utilization (56.7%), sufficient energy intake (64.2%), and sufficient protein intake (55.2%), with an average energy intake of 1,163.11 ± 214.27 kcal/day and protein 19.43 ± 5.67 grams/day. Bivariate analysis proved that there was a significant relationship between local food utilization and energy intake (p=0.001; "OR"=6.512; 95%" CI":2.238-18.948) and protein intake of toddlers (p=0.001; "OR"=9.459; 95%" CI":3.224-27.752). In conclusion, local food utilization was significantly related to the adequacy of energy and protein intake of toddlers at the Mpunda Community Health Center, so optimizing local food-based nutrition education is highly recommended.
