Anthropometry is considered capable to measure socio-economic conditions because it is directly related to the financial purchasing power of food that affects intake patterns. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of the family anthropometry using Height for Age Z Score (HAZ) index and Body Mass Index Z Score (BMIZ) as indicator of the family economic condition. This cross-sectional study design located in Astanajapura (Rural) and Kesambi (Urban) Subdistrict, Cirebon, West Java. The stratification sampling method was held to obtain samples from all main family members of the selected households (1,999 persons) from 405 families. Data analysis used ROC method to obtain the cut-off points of anthropometry index, validity test for sensitivity and specificity, and Kappa test for the reliability test. The findings indicate that the family HAZ anthropometry index could represent the family economic condition better than the BMIZ and it is reliable to become an indicator for the economic condition both in rural and urban areas. There is a positive correlation between consumption per capita and the HAZ index where the higher the family HAZ z score is, the higher the family consumption per capita. The method can be used to measure the poor prevalence in macro level and select the target of poor families in the micro level using the family HAZ anthropometry index. It is recommended to use HAZ index to estimate prevalence of poor families within the micro level, but the process must not include children under two years old due to the technical obstacle during measurement and other substance factors. Further research is needed to produce a more accurate method in using the family anthropometry as an indicator of family economic condition.

Antropometri dianggap mampu merefleksikan kondisi sosial-ekonomi karena berkaitan langsung dengan daya beli finansial makanan yang memengaruhi pola asupan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari reabilitas indeks antropometri TB/U keluarga dan IMT/U keluarga sebagai indikator kondisi ekonomi keluarga. Penelitian potong-lintang ini berlokasi di Kecamatan Astanajapura dan Kesambi, Cirebon, Jawa Barat. Metode stratifikasi sampling digunakan untuk mengambil sampel dari seluruh anggota keluarga inti rumah tangga terpilih (1.999 orang) dari 405 keluarga. Analisis data menggunakan metode ROC untuk mengetahui titik potong indeks antropometri, uji validitas untuk menilai sensitivitas dan spesifisitas dan uji Kappa untuk reliabilitas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa indeks antropometri TB/U keluarga lebih dapat menggambarkan kondisi ekonomi keluarga melalui pengeluaran per kapita keluarga dibandingkan dengan IMT/U keluarga dan andal sebagai indikator kondisi ekonomi keluarga. Indeks antropometri keluarga minus baduta dapat menggambarkan kondisi ekonomi keluarga di pedesaan dan perkotaan. Terdapat hubungan positif antara pengeluaran per kapita dengan indeks TB/U, di mana semakin tinggi nilai z score B/U keluarga, semakin tinggi pengeluaran per kapita keluarga tersebut. Hasil ini dapat digunakan untuk perhitungan prevalensi kemiskinan di tingkat makro dan seleksi target keluarga miskin di tingkat
