This study is to investigate effects of zinc and food supplementation on malnourished pregnant women to child body height after 6 years old in Takalar district, Indonesia. Cohort retrospective as a design study (subjects was from double blind study 2003). Samples were children 6 years old, divided into three groups: (1) had zinc, food supplementation history (54 subject), (2) group had food supplementation (20 subject), (3) without zinc and food supplementation (50 subject). Child Growth status is calculated by Marshall and Schwan formula. The study showed, average of weight gain during 6 years period for boys in group one, two and three were 0.181, 0.181, and 0.177 respectively. For girls were 0.177, 0.169, and 0.168. Children born from mother with zinc and food supplementation had high zinc and IGF‐1 level compared without zinc or food supplement history. The average of height gain (cm/month) for boys in group 1, 2 and 3 were 0,786, 0,786 and 0,773 respectively. For girls were 0.791, 0.739 and 0,672. There were no significant differences of food intake for child growth (weight and height gain status). Rate of weight and height growth of children in group 1 and 2 were better and higher than children in group 3. Nutrition intervention for malnourished pregnant women continuously (zinc and food supplementation) to prevent growth retardation in children is needed.
