ANALISIS KONSUMSI LEMAK, GULA DAN GARAM PENDUDUK INDONESIA

ANALYSIS INTAKE OF FAT, SUGAR AND SALT OF INDONESIANS Epidemiological studies show that high intake of fat, especially saturated fat, sugar and salt, are part of risk factors for overweight, hyperglicemia, hypertension and hypercholesterol. This study is aimed to analyze the intake of fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt of Indonesians using secondary data of the Susenas. The results show that the mean intake of fat is 58.1 g/cap/d in 2002 and increased to 61.5 g/cap/d in 2007 and become 64.7 g/cap/d in 2009, in which about half of it is visible fat, and two-third (62.6%) is saturated fat. The mean intake of visible sugar is 28.3 g/cap/d in 2002, 26.2 g/cap/d in 2007 and 23.8 g/cap/d in 2009, The mean intake of salt is 6.31 g/cap/d in 2002, 5.6 g/cap/d in 2007 and 5.7 g/cap/d in 2009. Both intake of sugar and salt are underestimation. Energy intake from saturated fat and salt intake are higher than recommended initiated by the WHO (2003). Energy intake from sugar is similar to added sugar intake recommendation stated in the Indonesian dietary guidelines, but some had sugar intake higher than the recommendation. Policy, strategies and programs on promoting less intake of saturated fat, sugar and salt, which are integrated into the promotion of balance diet and healthy life style are urgently required to achieve healthier Indonesians.
