Abstract
The purpose of this report is to assess
the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) problem in
Indonesia. It builds on to the Indonesia landscape analysis
country assessment (LACA) report, which found that
overweight and underweight co-existed among young children,
confirming that the DBM is already a concern in Indonesia.
The focus of the LACA was on maternal and child under
nutrition and especially on the extent of scaling-up of an
essential package of interventions for improving maternal
and child under nutrition. The focus of this report is on
over nutrition, it also looks at how under nutrition
contributes to this problem across the life course,
including the links to the non-communicable diseases (NCDs),
and especially those that are diet-related such as diabetes,
hypertension, dyslipidaemia , and cardiovascular disease
(CVD). The assessment is based on information collected
during a visit to Jakarta and Yogyakarta in late November
2011 when interviews were held with the key actors involved
in DBM problems in Indonesia. The report describes what the
DBM means as well as what its consequences are, examines the
DBM situation in Indonesia, and makes recommendations on
what actions should be taken to both prevent and mitigate
problems across the life course.
