Abstract

Stunting can develop while fetus is still in womb and is only visible in infants at two years of age. Indonesia’s stunting rate reached 19.8% in 2024, which is still higher than government's target of below 14%. This study aims to identify maternal risk factors for stunting. This retrospective study applied a quantitative analysis approach. A total of 323 mothers participated in this study, and researchers used Early Detection of Low-Birth-Weight Risk Scorecard (EDBLWRSC) and Dhiana Setyorini Scorecard (DSSC) to collect data. The analyzed using Chi-square tests with an α of 0.05. The results revealed that stunting was associated with parity item of DSSC (ρ = 0.00) and a history of preeclampsia (ρ = 0.00). Meanwhile, obesity was associated with either outcome. Moreover, in EDBLWRSC, anemia was associated with stunting (ρ = 0.00), a history of low birth weight was associated with a higher incidence of low birth weight (ρ = 0.01). The maternal risk variable on DSSC and stunting (ρ = 0.00) had an OR of 2.2 and 3.3, respectively. The EDBLWRSC also revealed a relationship between maternal risk factors and stunting (ρ = 0.00). Therefore, some of maternal risk factors in DSSC and EDBLWRSC are associated with stunting.

Abstract

Background: The malnutrition issue in Indonesia remains a health challenge that the government has not yet completely solved. If we look at overall prevalence of stunting, both mid and severe, the prevalence is 30.8%. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors associated with stunting among children under 5 years of age in Bangkalan district. Methods: This study This quantitative study employed an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design to identify factors associated with undernutrition among children under five years of age in Bangkalan Regency. The samples are 398 toodler using proportional random sampling, The dependent variable was undernutrition among children under five and independent sex, History of low birth weight, Maternal anemia during pregnancy and History of chronic energy deficiency, analyzed using chi square. Results: The value <0.001 which means that the nutritional status of the toddler significantly influences stunting in toddlers. The ρ-value 0.007 which means that the anemia history of mothers significantly influences stunting in toddlers and stunting in toddlers is strongly influenced by the mother's CED history, as indicated by the ρ value <α (p value < 0.001). Conclusion: This study identified several maternal and child factors associated with undernutrition among children under five years of age in Bangkalan Regency. Although child sex and a history of low birth weight were not significantly associated with undernutrition, maternal nutritional conditions during pregnancy and the nutritional status of children remain important determinants that should be addressed through comprehensive maternal and child health interventions.
