Abstract
Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating problem in children,
causing nutritional deficiency, obstructing growth, and development. This study
investigates the correlation between demographic characteristics and parenting alliance
to nutritional status in children with ARFID in Malang Regency. This analytic
observational study used a cross-sectional approach from December 2018 to March
2019. There were 245 respondents with multistage sampling. Parenting alliance was
quantified using questionnaires, and the children's nutritional status was quantified using
anthropometry, categorized based on Z-score weight-for-age. Data analysis used
Pearson correlation coefficients and Multiple linear regression with α=0.05. The result
showed no correlation between parenting alliance and children's nutritional status
(p>0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that children's nutritional
status was influenced by a child's age (β = -0.156, p=0.020) and the number of children
in a family (β = -0.263, p=0.029). In conclusion, parenting alliance is not directly related
to children's nutritional status in children with ARFID. Nevertheless, the child's age and
the number of children in a family affect their nutritional status.
