Abstract

English

Background: Lack of attention to reading nutritional value information labels on packaged food can harm one's health, such as an increased risk of obesity and degenerative diseases. The results of a study by the National Consumer Protection Agency stated that only 6.7% of consumers in Indonesia paid attention to nutritional value information labels. Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between demographic characteristics and nutritional value information literacy. Methods: This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on Semarang City residents aged 15-65. The sample size used the Slovin formula so that a minimum sample size of 1,029 respondents was selected using multistage random sampling based on characteristics of educational level and social status. The relationship between nutrition fact literacy and demographic characteristics was used using the Chi-square statistical test, and the relationship between nutrition fact literacy and body mass index using the Spearman rank statistical test. Results: The study showed that nutrition fact literacy was still problematic, 96.1%. Respondents have normal nutritional status, as much as 64.1%. Factors related to nutrition fact literacies were educational level (p=0.039, OR=1.968) and occupation (p=0.002, OR=4.668). Demographic variables unrelated are domicile, gender, marital status, and residence status. There is no relationship between nutrition fact literacy and nutritional status. Conclusions: Respondents with low nutritional value information literacy live in rural areas, are married, live with their families, have a low level of education, and do work, not in the health sector.

Latar Belakang: Kurangnya perhatian membaca label informasi nilai gizi pada makanan kemasan dapat berdampak buruk bagi kesehatan seseorang, seperti peningkatan risiko obesitas dan penyakit degeneratif. Hasil studi Badan Perlindungan Konsumen Nasional menyebutkan hanya 6.7% konsumen di Indonesia yang memperhatikan label informasi nilai gizi. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara karakteristik demografi dengan literasi informasi nilai gizi. Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional ini dilakukan pada populasi warga Kota Semarang yang berusia 15-65 tahun. Besar sampel menggunakan rumus Slovin sehingga didapatkan jumlah sampel minimal sebanyak 1.029 responden yang dipilih secara multistage random sampling berdasarkan karakteristik tingkat pendidikan dan status sosial. Hubungan antara literasi informasi nilai gizi dengan karakteristik demografi menggunakan uji statistik Chi-square dan hubungan antara literasi informasi nilai gizi dengan indeks massa tubuh menggunkan uji statistik Rank Spearman. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan literasi informasi nilai gizi masih kurang yaitu 96.1%. Responden memiliki status gizi normal sebanyak 64.1%. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan literasi informasi nilai gizi adalah tingkat pendidikan (p=0.039, OR=1.968) dan pekerjaan (p=0.002, OR=4.668). Variabel demografi yang tidak berhubungan adalah domisili, jenis kelamin, status perkawinan, dan status tempat tinggal. Tidak ada hubungan antara literasi informasi nilai gizi dengan status gizi. Kesimpulan: Responden yang memiliki literasi informasi nilai gizi rendah yaitu tinggal di daerah rural, status perkawinan menikah, tinggal bersama keluarga, memiliki tingkat pendidikan rendah dan bekerja tidak disektor kesehatan.
