This cross-sectional study aims to explore dietary determinants as risk factors for anemia in children aged 6\u201336 months living in a poor urban area of Jakarta. The study was done in Kampung Melayu sub-district in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected within two weeks in September\u2013October 2020. A structured questionnaire for a 24-h recall and a semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) were used to collect the dietary intake data, and venous blood was withdrawn to determine the hemoglobin levels. Bivariate chi-square and multiple logistic regression tests were executed to explore the dietary determinant factors for anemia. We recruited 180 subjects. The average hemoglobin concentration was 11.4 \u00b1 1.7 mg\/dL; the anemia prevalence was 29.4%. The following variables were significantly associated with higher risk of anemia: no cow\u2019s milk formula consumption, inadequate intake of fats, protein, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. Only cow\u2019s milk formula consumption and zinc intake were revealed as the determinant factors of anemia. In conclusion, the prevalence of anemia was 29.4% among children aged 6\u201336 months old. Anemia was significantly associated with two dietary determinants as risk factors that are cow\u2019s milk formula consumption and zinc intake.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13072397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]],"date-time":"2021-07-13T22:25:31Z","timestamp":1626215131000},"page":"2397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Dietary Determinants of Anemia in Children Aged 6\u201336 Months: A Cross-Sectional Study in Indonesia"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7848-6827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana","family":"Sunardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta 10430, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4258-1750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saptawati","family":"Bardosono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta 10430, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9507-527X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ray W.","family":"Basrowi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Nutrition for Danone Specialized Nutrition, Yogyakarta 55165, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika","family":"Wasito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Nutrition for Danone Specialized Nutrition, Yogyakarta 55165, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1862-8651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yvan","family":"Vandenplas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), UZ Brussels, KidZ Health Castle, 1090 Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2021, July 01).
