Subscribe/Renew Journal
The objective of this research was to analyze the relation of maternal employment status to adequacy level of energy and nutrients and nutritional status of school-aged children (SAC). This cross-sectional study conducted from March to May 2016 involved 175 fifth-grade SAC. The results showed that maternal employment status had a significant positive correlation with adequacy level of energy and carbohydrates. Mean Body Mass Index-for-Age (BAZ) of subjects with working mothers was significantly lower than those with non-working mothers. Adequacy level of energy and nutrients, and BAZ of subjects with working mothers tended to be lower than those with non-working mothers.
