Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a serious impact. The results of SSGI in 2021 the prevalence of stunting in East Nusa Tenggara was 24.4 percent. The highest stunting in South Central Timor District (TTS) was 48.3 percent. The causes of stunting are multifactorial; in addition to inadequate nutritional intake, sociodemographic factors and the role of fathers can affect parenting and susceptibility to infectious diseases. The determinants of stunting incidence in each region are different, including sociodemographics and parenting patterns. Objectives: This study aims to determine the risk factors for stunting according to sociodemographics and the role of fathers in the South Central Timor district. Methods: This research is a quantitative study with a Cross-Sectional Design. The number of samples used was 280 people with a purposive sampling technique based on the researcher's criteria. The research instrument used questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The data collected included sociodemographic variables, data on child characteristics, and the role of fathers in preventing stunting. Data obtained from secondary data interviews, observations, and anthropometric measurements to measure the nutritional status of toddlers. Data analysis was carried out in stages; the results of bivariate analysis with a p-value below 0.25 were included in the multivariate analysis modeling of logistic regression tests. This study received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of the Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang No LB.02.03/1/0156/2024. Results: The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between a history of infectious diseases, low birth weight <2500 grams, low exclusive breastfeeding, nutritional status of pregnant women with KEK, and the role of fathers with the incidence of stunting in Tobu Village and Noesiu Village. This is indicated by a p-value <0.05, while the results of the multivariate analysis showed that the nutritional status of pregnant women and exclusive breastfeeding had the greatest influence on the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: The biggest risk factors for stunting in this study were maternal nutritional status and low exclusive breastfeeding. Specific variables need to be added in further studies, including complete basic immunization, smoking behavior, and nutritional intake.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major nutritional problem in Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), with a prevalence of 37.9% in 2023. Nutritional deficiencies in the first 1000 days of life affect children's physical growth, cognitive development, and productivity. Causative factors include exclusive breastfeeding practices, complementary feeding, daily protein intake, immunization, infectious diseases, and household economic and environmental conditions. Maternal education is considered important for improving knowledge and practices of good feeding.Objective: To determine the effectiveness of nutrition education interventions for mothers and the provision of supplementary feeding on mothers' knowledge and practices, as well as the growth of children under five in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test control design, involving 60 toddlers (30 intervention, 30 control). Interventions include maternal nutrition education (CGM, CDM, IYCF) and protein supplementation (eggs). The data includes maternal knowledge and practices, as well as child anthropometry. The analysis used t-tests and chi-square tests (p<0.05).Results: The intervention significantly improved mothers' knowledge, as evidenced by an increase in scores on CGM by 11.37, CDM by 13.13, and IYCF by 13.93. There was also an improvement in parenting practices, particularly in CGM (36.67) and CDM (25.67), while the improvement in IYCF practices was relatively slower and only reached significance at the second follow-up. For child anthropometry, the changes were limited, with a significant increase in height in post-test 1 of 0.49 cm, while the weight changes did not reach significance. Conclusion: Interactive nutrition education is effective in improving mothers' knowledge and practices, but its impact on child growth requires long-term intervention, environmental support, and sustainable nutritional fulfillment

Abstract

Background: Household food security is an important determinant of family welfare and nutritional status, particularly in rural areas with high poverty rates. The Food Consumption Score (FCS) is widely used to assess food security based on the diversity and frequency of food consumption, but its application in dry and chronically food-insecure areas such as South Central Timor (SCT) Regency is still limited. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the food security of farming households using the FCS approach and examine food consumption patterns based on the FCS classification in SCT Regency. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design in farming households with toddlers. Primary data were collected through interviews with mothers of toddlers using a structured questionnaire. The variables studied included household characteristics (parental education and number of family members), frequency of consumption of eight food groups, and FCS scores calculated according to World Food Programme (WFP) guidelines. Results and Discussion: The results showed that classification using the WFP standard cut-off categorized the majority of households as food secure. However, when using the adjusted cut- off in previous research, 97.1% of households were classified as food insecure. Consumption patterns are dominated by cereals and vegetables, with very limited consumption of animal protein sources, nuts, and milk. Conclusion: No significant association was found between parental education or family size and food security status. These findings suggest the potential for overestimating food security if only using the global FCS cut-off without considering the local context. The results of this study can serve as a basis for formulating more contextual food and nutrition interventions in rural dryland areas
