Expertise Center
Nutrition & Anthropometry
Measuring nutritional status across the life course in Indonesia.
Overview
About the center.
The Nutrition and Anthropometry Center analyses the burden and distribution of malnutrition in Indonesia using nationally representative survey data, spanning undernutrition, overweight, and obesity across the life course. The center produces survey-weighted prevalence estimates stratified by age group, sex, place of residence, and household wealth, and translates these into reproducible reports and dashboards for policymakers. Work draws primarily on successive waves of Riskesdas and the Survei Kesehatan Indonesia, with attention to comparability across survey rounds.
Scope of Work
What this center covers.
- Child stunting and wasting (0 to 59 months)
- Adolescent thinness and overweight (5 to 19 years)
- Adult and elderly obesity and central adiposity
- Survey-weighted anthropometric trend estimation across Riskesdas and SKI waves
- Subnational equity in nutritional status by wealth and residence
