ABSTRACT
RIZKY CAHYA WINDARI. Growth Pattern of Children 0-5 Years Old in Bantul
Special Region Yogyakarta. Supervised by BAMBANG SURYOBROTO and
TETRI WIDIYANI.
Growth is one of the phases in the human life cycle. Growth may be defined
as a quantitative increase in size or mass. The aim of this study is to determine the
growth patterns of children 0 – 5 years old in Bantul Special Region Yogyakarta.
The subjects of this research were 320 children 0 – 5 years old who consist of 150
boys and 170 girls. The pattern of growth can be determined by anthropometric
procedures that are measured of body weight, body height/lenght, sitting height,

upper arm circumference and head circumference. Average growth of boys bigger
than girls at every age group. Body weight in boys range between 5.41 kg − 17.29
kg and girls 5.40 kg – 16.73 kg. Body height in boys range between 57.71 cm –
107.5 cm and girls 57.22 cm – 106.2 cm. Sitting height of boys range between
36.77 cm – 57.32 cm and girls only range between only 36.25 cm – 56.30 cm.
Upper arm circumference boys range between 13.79 cm – 16.69 cm and girls
13.67 cm − 16.62 cm. Head circumference boys range between 39.30 cm – 50.27
cm and girls 38.60 cm – 49.73 cm.
Keywords: growth, children, anthropometry, bantul

INTRODUCTION
Background
Growth is one of the phases in the human life cycle. Growth and
development begins from the time of conception to adulthood. Growth may be
defined as a quantitative increase in size or mass, while development is defined as
progession of changes, either quantitative or qualitative, that lead from an
undifferentiated or immature state to highly organized, specialized, and mature
state (Bogin 1999). Growth is influenced by internal factors and external factors.
Internal factor is genetic, hormone, ethnicity or nation, family, age and
chromosomal abnormalities. External factors is environment, social economi and
phsycology (Fox 2002).
Physical measurement of children is required to assess whether the growth
is normal or not. This measurement is important to determine the nutritional status
(Amarita and Veronica 1992), detecting the presence of chronic diseases, and
aberrations in individual growth (Jacob 1981). These assessment need a normal
growth pattern to be used as reference.
The pattern of growth can be determined by anthropometric procedures.
Anthropometry in neonatal and children for assessing nutritional status and
growth that are deemed to be important are measurement of body weight, body
height/lenght, sitting height, upper arm circumference and head circumference.
Suhardjo (1989) explain that a child's weight is a good indicator and overview of
body mass, especially for children under five years old. In this age, body mass is
very sensitive to sudden changes, such as infectious disease, decrease in appetite
or decreasing amount of food consumed (Supariasa & Bakri 2002). Growth of
height is relatively less sensitive than growth of weight in relation to the problem
of malnutrition. Effect of nutrient deficiency on height will only appear in a
relatively long time (Wong 2004). Sitting height is positively correlated with body
mass index in adults, so sitting height can also be used to assess the nutritional
state of children. More over, sitting lenght measurements can also be used to
detect Marfan syndrome and hypochondroplasia syndrome (Bogin and Beydoun
2007). Upper arm circumference tend to increase according to the increase in the
nutritional status of children as well as with increasing age of the child. Head
circumference as an important reflection of growth and development of the brain,
especially in early childhood. Head circumference is also a sensitive
anthropometric indicator of prolonged malnutrition during infancy, so clinicians
use head circumference as a measure of failure to thrive (Bouthoorn 2012). These
anthropometric data are important indicators of the achievement of physical
growth in children (Kuczmarski et al . 2002).
Research on growth patterns of infants and toddlers has been done in Bogor
(Yuliana 2006) and Betawi tribe (Widiastuty 2012). But research on growth
patterns of infants and toddlers in Special Region Yogyakarta has not been done.

Aim
The aim of this study is to determine the growth patterns of children 0 – 5
years old in Bantul Special Region Yogyakarta.

MATERIALS AND METHOD
Time and Place
Data was collected during February until April 2014 in Bantul,Yogyakarta.
The sampling was done in four Kindergartens school level, two Integrated
Community Service Post or Pos Pelayanan Terpadu (Posyandu), three Hospitals,
and two by door to door visits (Appendix 1). Data analysis was accomplished in
Section of Biosystematics and Ecology of Animal, Department of Biology, Bogor
Agricultural University.

Probandus in this study had a low socio-economic backgrounds. It is known
from the results of questionnaire (Appendix 2), where the average of expenditure
per month for a family meal ranges between Rp. 750.000 - Rp 1.000.000 from 284
probands who known (Table 2). Average of expulsion is lower than the value of
Wages of Minimum Regional (UMR) in Bantul. Based on decision of the
Governor D.I Yogyakarta Decree. 279/2013 on the Wages of Minimum Regional
(UMR) Bantul in 2014, mentions a large UMR Bantul is Rp. 1.125.500 (Pemda

Informed Consent
The parents or guardians of children were given detailed information and
they signed the informed consent and completed questionnaires if they agree to
participate.
Measurement
Growth pattern was calculated based on five antrophometric dimensions;
that are, body weight, body height, sitting height, upper arm circumference, and
head circumference.
Body weight was measured by putting baby lying on the baby scale. For
toddlers, body weight was measured using digital weight scale of Uchida.
Proband standing calmly and look straight ahead.
Lenght of baby was measured using measuring board. Proband was placed
in the supine position on a measurements board. They view straight up, their head
hit on the boards. Body and legs of proband were placed horizontal, heel
straightened. For toodlers, body height was measured using stadiometer. Proband
stand upright and relaxed, look straight ahead, heels and knees straightened.
Sitting height was measured as the length from head to rump using
measuring tape. Upper Arm circumference was measured using measuring tape at
the proband’s upper left arm, between the shoulder and elbow, wrapped around
not tensioned. Head circumference was measured using measuring tape. Wrapped
tape around the baby’s head in the part of largest. This is above the eyebrows and
the tops of the ears.
Statistical Analysis
Growth pattern of boys and gils presented by 3rd, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th,
90th, 95th, and 97th percentiles at each age group. Generalized additive models for
location scale and shape (GAMLSS) used for determined percentile
(Stasinopoulus and Rigby 2005) and implemented in R program version 2.15.2
(Development Core Team 2012).

DISCUSSION
Body Weight
Anthropometric data are valuable objective indicators of attained size and
physical growth in children. Body weight and body height are the mostly
anthropometric data that use to determinate nutritional status of children.
Malnutrition more influence to body weight than body height (Khomsan 2004).
Up to five years old, children’s weight gain significantly. Body mass is very
sensitive to sudden changes, such as infectious disease, decreased appetite or
decreasing the amount of food consumed (Supariasa & Bakri 2002). The pattern
of body weight curves indicates that body mass increases rapidly from birth to
approximately 5 years old. Body weight gain on average 2 − 4 kg every year
during preschool age.
Body weight in boys 0 - 5 years old in Bantul old is bigger than body weight
in girls at each age group. This is because boy have a muscle mass, body mass and
metabolic rate greater than girls (Watson and Lowrey 1951). Body weight in boys
vary for each age which range between 5.41 kg − 17.29 kg, while girls only range
between 5.40 kg − 16.73 kg.
Growth curves are an essential tool in pediatric practice. Their value resides
in helping to determine the degree to which physiological needs for growth and
development are being met during the important childhood period. However, their
usefulness goes far beyond assessing children’s nutritional status (De Onis 2009).
The growth curve of body weight boys and girls showed probandus in under
0.03 percentiles were having body weight smaller in their age group. Some

8

proband in 0.90 percentiles to 0.97 percentiles were having overweight and
proband in above 0.97 percentiles were having obesity in their each age group.
Generally, the child's body weight in Bantul is lower than American
children (De Onis et al. 2006), Bogor children (Yuliana 2006) and Betawi
children (Widiastuty 2013) (Appendix 3). This is probably because the socioeconomic conditions in Bantul was lower than America, Bogor and Betawi tribe.
therefore , it has enviromental, and genetic is different also.
Body Height
The growth pattern of body height much affected by the condition of
malnutrition in the short term. But if prolonged nutritional deficiency and severe,
then the growth pattern of body height can be affected even interfere with the
maturation process. Body height can be inhibited by a protein deficiency despite
sufficient intake energy. The fastest height growth occurs during puberty along
with sexual maturity. Added height and weight along with increasing proportions
of the body (Khomsan 2004).
Body height anthropometric describes the state of skeletal growth. In normal
condition, body height grows with age. Body Height growth unlike weight, its
relatively less sensitive to the problem of malnutrition in a short time. Effect of
nutrient deficiency on height will appear in a relatively long time (Wong 2004).
The pattern of body height curves indicate that body height increases rapidly
from birth to approximately 3 years old. Body height gain average in 0 − 3 years
old is 9 − 16 cm and in 4 − 5 years old average 5 − 8 cm. Body weight in boys 0 5 years old in Bantul is bigger than body weight in girls. Body height in boys
vary for each age which range between 57.71 cm − 107.5 cm, while girls only
range between 57.22 cm − 106.2 cm.
Somatotropin or Growth Hormone (GH) is a major regulator of the growth
framework. Added height is strongly influenced by this hormone. GH stimulates
the formation of somatomedin which then affects the cartilage (Soetjiningsih
1995).
Body height is obtaine similar results with body weight, in which the child's
body height in Bantul is also lower than body height of America children (De
Onis et al. 2006), Bogor children (Yuliana 2006), and Betawi tribe children
(Widiastuty 2013) (Appendix 3).
Sitting Height
Sitting height is correlate positive with body mass index values of children,
therefore, sitting height can also used to assess the nutritional state of children.
Length measurements can also be done seated to detect Marfan syndrome and
Hipokondroplasia syndrome (Bogin & Beydoun 2007). Marfan syndrome (MFS)
is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder involving the cardiovascular,
skeletal and ocular systems, the integument, lungs and dura. Cardinal
manifestations include aortic aneurysm and dissection, ocular lens dislocation and
long bone overgrowth. In 90-93% of cases, MFS is caused by mutations in FBN1
(Loeys 2010). Hypochondroplasia is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short
stature, stocky build, disproportionately short arms and legs, and broad short

9

hands and foot. Hypochondroplasia is a genetic disorder with mostly caused by
mutations in FGFR3 gene (Matsui et al. 1998).
Widiastuty (2012) reported that, can adjust the length of sitting height. If a
child has a higher height , then a child has sitting height longer also.
The pattern of sitting height curves indicates that sitting height increases
rapidly from birth to approximately 3 years old. Body height gain average in 0 − 3
years old is 5 − 7 cm and in 4 − 5 years old gain average 2 cm. Sitting height of
boys vary for each age 0 to 5 years which range between 36.77 cm − 57.32 cm,
while girls only range between 36.25 cm − 56.30 cm.
Upper Arm Circumference
Upper arm circumference is a reflection of the growth and development of
fat tissue and muscle. Upper arm circumference was used to assess nutrition or
growth and development in the preschool age group (Sulistyawati 2014).
The results showed that Upper arm circumference boys is bigger than girls.
Upper arm circumference boys 0 to 5 years old range between 13.79 cm − 16.69
cm and while girls only range between 13.67 cm − 16.62 cm. Upper arm
circumference gain on average 2 cm every year.
Head Circumference
The aim of head circumference measurment for determine childs's head
circumference within the normal range or not. (Bouthoorn et all. 2012) reported
that, several studies recognized head circumference (HC) as an important
reflection of growth and development of the brain, especially in early childhood.
HC is also a sensitive anthropometric indicator of prolonged malnutrition during
infancy, so clinicians use HC as a measure of failure to thrive.
Growth of head circumference associated with brain development. The most
critical period and rapid of brain development is from the fetus in gestation period
until after birth to 2 years old. Brain development is related to the multiplication
and increase size of brain cells quickly. Size cells only increase after 2 years old
(Khomsan 2004).
The pattern of head circumference curves indicates that head circumference
increases rapidly from birth to approximately 2 years old and gain sicnificantly on
average 8 cm. Head circumference boys vary for each age 0 to 5 years old which
range between 39.30 cm − 50.27 cm, while girls only range between 38.60 cm −
49.73 cm.
Brain growth is closely related to malnutrition. Therefore, measure of head
circumference is often used as an indicator to determine nutritional status of child
indicators. Head circumference measurements are sensitive only to a certain age
where brain development is going on. At preschool age, children with
malnutrition have smaller head circumferences than normal children (Khomsan
2004).

CONCLUSION
The growth pattern of children 0 − 5 years old in Bantul Special Region
Yogyakarta, showed a similiar pattern in body weight, body height, sitting height,
upper arm circumference and head circumference, which is likely increase.
Average growth of boys bigger than girls at every age group.
