Understanding Hidden Hunger in Indonesia

Hidden hunger, also known as micronutrient deficiency, is a major public health problem in developing countries caused by a lack of essential vitamins and minerals in the diet. It is a form of undernutrition where intake of vitamins and minerals is too low to sustain good health, but individuals may not outwardly display signs of malnutrition. The Global Hunger Index evaluates countries on four indicators - undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting, and child mortality - to determine their hunger levels. According to the 2020 Global Hunger Index, Indonesia ranks 70 out of 107 countries, indicating that between 20-40% of its population experiences hidden hunger due to insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Hidden Hunger

HIDDEN HUNGER
• Hidden hunger atau kelaparan tersembunyi.

• Data Global Hunger Index pada 2020  Indonesia berada


pada posisi 70 dari 107 negara, dan kondisi ini dialami oleh
sekitar 20-40 persen masyarakat.

• Penyebab hidden hunger adalah kekurangan zat gizi mikro


 yang diakibatkan oleh kurangnya konsumsi buah dan sayur.
Konsep Hidden Hungger
→ Hunger: distress related to lack of food 

→ Malnutrition: an abnormal physiological condition, typically due to


eating the wrong amount and/or kinds of foods; encompasses
undernutrition and overnutrition 

→ Undernutrition: deficiencies in energy, protein, and/or


micronutrients 
→ Micronutrient deficiency (also known as
hidden hunger):
a form of undernutrition that occurs when intake or
absorption of vitamins and minerals is too low to
sustain good health and development in children and
normal physical and mental function in adults. Causes
include poor diet, disease, or increased micronutrient
needs not met during pregnancy and lactation 
• Hidden hunger, or micronutrient deficiency, is a major public health pr
oblem in developing countries caused by a lack of essential vitamins a
nd minerals  (e.g. vitamin A, zinc, iron, iodine) in the diet. 
• Often, the signs of this form ofmalnutrition are ‘hidden’, as individuals
 may ‘look alright’ but suffer 
extremely negative impacts on health and well‐being. 
• For example, children may be stunted, have poor night vision or suffer
 frequently from illness. 
• Adults, too, may succumb more frequently to illness and fatigue easily
.
→ Undernourishment:
Chronic calorie deficiency, with consumption of less
than 1,800 kilocalories a day, the minimum most
people need to live a healthy, productive life >
Overnutrition: excess intake of energy or
micronutrients Sources: FAO (2013); and von
Grebmer et al. (2013).
How are the GHI scores calculated?
• GHI scores are calculated using a three-step process that draws on available data
from various sources to capture the multidimensional nature of hunger (Figure A.1).
• First, for each country, values are determined for four indicators:
[Link]: the share of the population that is undernourished (that
is, whose caloric intake is insufficient);
[Link] WASTING: the share of children under the age of five who are wasted
(that is, who have low weight for their height, reflecting acute undernutrition);
[Link] STUNTING: the share of children under the age of five who are stunted
(that is, who have low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition); and
[Link] MORTALITY: the mortality rate of children under the age of five (in part,
a reflection of the fatal mix of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments).
Source: Wiesmann et al. (2015). Note: The
values of each of the four component indicators
are standardized. See Appendix B for the
complete GHI formula and Appendix C for the
data sources. SDGs = Sustainable Development
Goals.
• Second, each of the four component indicators is given a standardized
score on a 100-point scale based on the highest observed level for the
indicator on a global scale in recent decades.
• Third, standardized scores are aggregated to calculate the GHI score
for each country, with each of the three dimensions (inadequate food
supply; child mortality; and child undernutrition, which is composed
equally of child stunting and child wasting) given equal weight (the
formula for calculating GHI scores is provided in Appendix B).
