Abstract

Introduction: Anthropometric status is an important indicator for monitoring child growth and nutritional status. Indigenous communities may have unique social, cultural, geographical, and dietary characteristics that influence child growth. Objective: This study aimed to describe the anthropometric status of female children aged 1–10 years in the Baduy community based on body weight and height measurements. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving 15 female children in the Baduy community, Banten, Indonesia. Data collected included age, body weight, and height. Result and Discussion: Body mass index was calculated, and growth status was assessed using the World Health Organization growth standards based on age and sex. The mean age was 6.31 ± 2.60 years, body weight was 19.09 ± 6.20 kg, height was 109.07 ± 16.53 cm, and body mass index was 15.67 ± 1.89 kg/m². Conclusion: Most children had normal anthropometric status; however, severe underweight, stunting, severe stunting, risk of overweight, and obesity were identified. Anthropometric monitoring is important for early detection of child growth problems in the Baduy community.
