Abstract

Low plasma zinc levels can be used to predict the development of respiratory tract infections and diarrhea on malnutrition population. This research is experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design. The purpose of this study was to determine differences of CRP levels and incidence of infection among malnutrition toddler after zinc supplementation. Data collection techniques were questionnaire, food recall, food frequency questionnaire, anthropometry, blood sampling, and laboratory tests. The population was toddler age 4-5 years. Samples were taken from the population in inclusion criteria. Then they were placed into groups using random allocation. The result of study showed there was no significant differences in zinc levels before and after treatment (p=0,005) in treatment groups, and in the control group neither (p=0.084). There was no significant difference in CRP levels before and after treatmentt (p=0,409) in treatment groups and p=0.177 in the control group. There was no significant differences in IgA levels after and before treatment in treatment group (p=0.126) and in the control group neither (p=0.199). There was significant difference in incidence of infection before and after treatment in treatment group (p=0,005), but there was no significant difference in the control group (p = 0752) instead. Conclusion: zinc supplementation can increase zinc levels and reduced the incidence of infection among malnutrition toddlers nutrition.
