An Analysis of SAW Modelling Results and TOPSIS As a Recommendation for Toddlers‘ Health Recovery at Mother and Children Health Care Center

The purpose of research is to provide information to health workers of Mother and Children Health Care Center about the types and characteristics of of the appropriate infants’ food supplementary products and giving that supplementary food. Data testing is done by comparing two methods of SAW and TOPSIS with fuzzy multi attribute decision making approach. The criteria include toddler age, nutrient status, parents’ income, number of children, electricity bill, breastfeeding, dental examination, physical examination and mother assessment. The test results of both modeling are used as a recommendation in giving supplementary food for toddlers’ health recovery. Giving supplementary food (Supplementary feeding) is given to nutrient-prone groups that include underweight children of 6-59 months old who are based on the results of body weight measurement according to Length/Body Height, smaller than minus two Standard Deviation (<-2Sd). The testing by using SAW method, the obtained value was 0.84; meanwhile the one which used TOPSIS method, the obtained value was 0.67; therefore the difference of test results of both methods showed a significant difference.
