Abstract

Nutrition problems in children, especially elementary school students, are an important issue because they have long-term impacts on their physical, cognitive, and social development. Good nutritional status is needed to support optimal growth and children's learning abilities. One factor that affects children's nutritional status is the family's economic status. The family's financial condition plays a significant role in their ability to provide enough and nutritious food. Families with low income often face challenges in providing healthy food that meets children's nutritional needs. As a result, children from low-income families often experience nutrition problems such as malnutrition or obesity. The type of research used is quantitative with a cross-sectional study approach. The respondents/samples of the study were all students of SD IT Muhammadiyah 6 in Lhokseumawe, totaling 142 people. The highest family economic status was in the middle category with 55 respondents (38.7%), and the lowest was in the low category with 38 respondents (26.8%). Meanwhile, the highest student nutritional status was in the normal category with 93 respondents (65.5%), and the lowest was in the underweight category with 6 respondents (4.2%). Based on the statistical test using the chi-square test, a p-value of 0.036 (< alpha value 0.05) was obtained, so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between family economic status and the nutritional status of students at SD IT Muhammadiyah 6 Kota Lhokseumawe. It is recommended that parents and/or the school monitor students' nutritional status regularly through cooperation with relevant parties.
