Abstract

Background: Stunting is the cause of death and morbidity among children 0-59 months. Stunting can be associated with some factors such as child factors, maternal factors, and feeding patterns, especially exclusive breastfeeding. Objectives: Determine the effects of exclusive breastfeeding and demographic factors (gender, mother age and education) associated with stunting incidence among 0-59 months child in Public Health Center. Method: This was an observational analytic study with a case-control design involving 132 children under five in the Ngletih Health Center area. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis to describe variables, Chi-square tests to assess associations, and logistic regression to estimate the magnitude of effects. Result: Chi-square analysis showed a significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting (p=0.005), while no significant associations were found for child gender (p=0.601), maternal age (p=0.367), and maternal education (p=0.052). Logistic regression indicated that children without exclusive breastfeeding had a higher risk of stunting (OR=3.009). The proportion of stunting was 59% among children of mothers with junior high school education and 55% among those with senior high school education. Conclusion: Lack of exclusive breastfeeding is significantly associated with stunting (p=0.004; OR=3.009; 95%CI=1.434–6.312). Strengthening maternal nutrition education programs is essential to reduce stunting risk
