Drs. Susianto Tseng, Indonesia Website: www.ivs-online.org Biography:       * IVU Regional Coordinator for East/Southeast Asia and Oceania                        * Chief Operations Officer of the Indonesian Vegetarian Society (IVS)                        * Consultant of Perkin-Elmer Singapore for Indonesia                        * Master in Nutrition Lecture title: The Nutritional Status of Vegetarian Children in Indonesia Abstract: This study has been conducted as a response to the fact that no such data have been gathered on vegetarianism in Indonesia. Vegetarian families have unique and specific lifestyles that are worth studying. The vegetarian diet is based mainly on grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit, with some eggs and dairy products. As children are especially susceptible to malnutrition and under-nutrition in their fast growing period, this could influence their nutritional status in the next life phase. Total data from 14 cities show that most of the children enjoy good nutritional status with only a few suffering from under-nutrition and some from over-nutrition.
