Lingkar lengan atas (LiLA) telah digunakan sebagai indikator proksi terhadap risiko kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) untuk ibu hamil di Indonesia karena tidak terdapat data berat badan prahamil pada sebagian besar ibu hamil. Selama ini, ambang batas LiLA yang digunakan adalah 23,5 cm. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas LiLA terhadap indeks massa tubuh (IMT) yang merupakan indikator yang lebih baik untuk mengetahui status gizi wanita dewasa. Penelitian ini menggunakan data Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2007 pada perempuan dewasa usia 20 – 45 tahun di seluruh Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini ialah ambang batas LiLA yang paling optimal untuk mendeteksi risiko KEK di Indonesia berada pada titik 24,95 cm (Se = 85%; Sp = 75%). Terdapat perbedaan ambang batas antarprovinsi tetapi tidak lebih dari 2 cm, terendah di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (23,95 cm) dan tertinggi di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara dan Gorontalo (25,95 cm). LiLA mempunyai korelasi yang kuat (r = 0,67; nilai p < 0,000) dengan IMT. Direkomendasikan untuk menggunakan ambang batas LiLA 24,95 cm untuk mendeteksi risiko KEK wanita usia 20 – 45 tahun, sementara23,5 cm untuk outcome kehamilan, yaitu morbiditas dan mortalitas bayi.Kata kunci: Lingkar lengan atas, indeks massa tubuh, kekurangan energi kronisAbstractMid-upper arm circumference has been used in Indonesia as an proxy indicator of chronic energy malnutrition risk for pregnant women because there isn’t any data of prepregnancy weight in most of pregnant women. The boundary used was 23,5 cm. The objective of the study is to validate the currentboundary related to body mass index (BMI) indicator, which is believed as a better indicator in identifying women nutritional status. The study is using Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2007 data on Indonesian adult women aged 20 – 45 years old. The study found the boundary is 24,95 cm for detecting chronic energy malnutrition risk among adult women (Se = 85%; Sp = 75%). There are differences among provinces but not more than 2 cm, the lowest is in Nusa Tenggara Timur (23,95 cm) and the highest is in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo (25,95 cm). Mid upper arm circumference has a strong relationto BMI (r = 0,67; p value < 0,000). It is recommended to use mid-upper arm circumference boundary 24,95 cm to detect chronic energy malnutrition on 20 – 45 years old women and 23,5 cm to pregnancy outcome, baby morbidity, and mortality.Key words: Mid-upper arm circumference, body mass index, chronic energy deficiency

Mid Upper Arm Circumference

Body mass index is commonly used for detecting malnutrition. At certain conditions, body mass index cannot be measured, so mid-upper arm circumference can be an alternative measurement for detecting malnutrition. Several studies have proposed the cut-off point of mid-upper arm circumference in adults along with its sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). This article aims to describe the diagnostic test for malnutrition using the upper arm circumference in adults and summarize the results of the related studies.
