Abstract

Background: Immunity status is a system that protect the human body against foreign substances. Good immunity status can prevent various diseases. Several risk factors that make a person susceptible to infection is less nutritional status. Immunonutrition intake consists of some specific nutrient components that can form the immune system. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status and intake of immunonutrition (proteins, zinc and iron) with the immunity status. Method: This study is an analytic observational study with cross sectional design at 78 students of medical faculty in Lampung university. Sampling was taken by proportionated random sampling. Nutritional status was obtained from anthropometric examination using the body mass index criteria, the immunonutrition intake taken through 3x24 h food recall and the immunity status was taken by lymphocyte numbers. Result: The results showed that in general, the immunity status are good (58.97%), nutritional status are normal (66.67%), protein intake are adequate (62.82%), zinc and iron intake classified inadequate (71,79%; 65,38%). There is a significant association between the intake of protein and iron with the immunity status (p=0.004; p=0.014) and there is not significant association between nutritional status and intake of zinc with the immunity status (p=0.192; p=0.599). From the four independent variables that have a more meaningful relationship is the intake of protein and iron. Conclusion: The intake of immunonutrition (protein and iron) was associated with the immunity status. Keywords: nutritional status, immunonutrition intake, immunity status
