Abstract

Insufficient nutritional intake from the beginning of pregnancy until the first two years of life has a significant effect on the child's growth and development process, such as stunting. Stunting is the condition of a child having a length or height that is lower or less than his age and has a value < -2 standard deviation. Malnutrition in children can inhibit the formation of brain cells resulting in changes to the structure and function of the brain itself. This will then have an impact on the child's cognitive development. The research aims to determine the relationship between stunting and cognitive development in children aged 2-5 years. The sample used in this research was toddlers aged 2-5 years, totaling 38 children. The research design used was cross-sectional (cross sectional study). Data were analyzed using the Somers'D statistical test. The research results found a relationship between stunting and cognitive development in children aged 2-5 years. The conclusion is that children who experience stunting will cause their cognitive abilities to decline.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional condition resulting from a lack of nutritional intake from food that is not in accordance with nutritional needs based on the body length index for age, which results in less than optimal motor development. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between stunting and the motor development of children aged 2-5 years at the Tamalate Community Health Center. The type of research is descriptive analytical research with a cross sectional research design. The sampling technique for the non-probability sampling method is Accidental Sampling. This study used 34 respondents as samples who met the inclusion criteria. This research instrument uses a microtoise stature meter for the stunting variable and the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) for the motor development variable. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents who experienced stunting were aged 24-36 months, with the same number of males and females, while non-stunted respondents were aged 37-48 months with the majority being male. The majority of stunting figures are short stature, 79.4% of children aged 2-5 years in the working area of the Tamalate Community Health Center. The description of motor development shows that the majority of respondents have normal motor function, however, 13.23% of stunted children are found to be suspected of having motor disorders, while only 4.41% of non-stunting children are found. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between stunting and the motor development of children aged 2-5 years in the working area of the Tamalate Community Health Center.
