Nutritional, Risk Factors, LeprosyAbstract
Leprosy is a skin disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Leprosy is still a problem in the world. Based from WHO, the defined age for a child is from the womb until the age of 19 years. The risk factors of leprosy in children are host, agent, and environment. Nutritional is one of the risk factors in child leprosy. This study is an analytical study with a cross-sectional study design to evaluate the correlation of nutritional status of child leprosy patients based from WHO and CDC growth charts. The 10-14 years age group was the largest age group with male patients the most affected. The evaluation of the nutritional status of new child leprosy patients at the first visit were found, 8 child leprosy patients with short stature (30%). There were 5 child leprosy patients (19.2%) with an overweight nutritional status, and obesity in 1 child leprosy patient (3.8%). However, there is no correlation between nutritional risk factor and child with leprosy (p-value : 0,79).
