Abstract
ABSTRACTBackground: Snacking is common among elementary school-age children. Ironically, snacks often contain lots of sugar, salt, and fat (SSF) which mostly available at school's area and might contributed to poor dietary pattern. Objective: to determine SSF’s content among snack food (SF) at school food stalls and intake of SSF from the SF among school-age children. Methods: This cross sectional study involved eighty-nine children age 8 to 12 at Madrasah Pembangunan elementary school in South Tangerang city that randomly selected. Street food was classified as main dish, snacks and drinks. SSF content was determined by desk analysis through conversion of raw-cooked food, edible portion, estimated of intake sugar, salt and oil absorption from actual food weighing of listed snack foods. Intake of SSF was obtained from two non-consecutives 24 hours food recalls. FoodWorks and SPSS software were used to analyze food and descriptive analysis, respectively. Results: We found that almost one third of subjects experienced overweight (12.4%) and obesity (16.9%). There were 53 items of hawker foods were identified within school area and were comprised from 18 main dishes, 35 snacks and 10 drinks. Snack food contains more SSF content compared to main dishes. Salt is the highest contribution (120%) to recommended daily allowance compared to sugar and fat.Conclusion: The percentage contribution of snacks in school-age children consumption needs to be highlighted as an alarming wake-up call to introduce nutrition labelling on snacks sold at school areas.Keywords : snack food; sugar; salt; fat; school children ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Ngemil merupakan hal yang umum di kalangan anak usia sekolah dasar.
