Teenage pregnancy is at risk of adverse health, an increased risk of domestic violence, poor nutrition, and sexual and reproductive health problems, lower levels of education, and higher levels of poverty compared to women who postpone marriage age. The study aims to determine the relationship between marriage and Adolescent pregnancy with the incidence of stunting in children under five years in Indoneasia.  The study used a cross-sectional approach from 2014 IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) data. The bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square Test when the multivariate analysis used logistic regression. The results found the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia in 2014 was 36.6%. The stunting prevalence is higher in toddlers of married mothers of adolescents (42.4%) compared to mothers of married mature (35%). The stunting prevalence was also higher in children under five years from adolescent pregnant women (44.4%) compared to mothers who were of sufficient age (35.6%). Teenage pregnancy is associated with the incidence of stunting. A married teenage woman is 1.2 times at risk, and a woman who is less than 20 years pregnant is 1.3 times at risk of having a stunting toddler. Teenage pregnancy increases the prevalence of stunting. Cross-sectoral integrated interventioans are needed to prevent adolescent pregnancy. It is required to decrease the prevalence of stunting. The various risks that occur in teenage pregnancy are the basis for the importance of pregnancy prevention efforts in this age group by involving the related sectors.

Abstract

Family planning will affect the mother’s ability in parenting which will affect the children’s growth and development. This study aims to determine the relationship between family planning and the practice of child feeding (PCF). The study used Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey 2017 data with a cross-sectional approach. Family planning is measured by variables age at first marriage, the distance between births, parity, number of children under five, and pregnancy desired. The PCF is based on the variable composite of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding, Exclusive Breastfeeding, Infant and Child Feeding, and Consumption of food sources of vitamin A. The sample size is 97 children aged 6-23 months. Data analysis using multivariate logistic regression. The study results that almost part of the mother did not PCF well (45.4%). Most (69.1%) mothers were not good at family planning. Family planning related to poor PCF was age at first marriage less than 18 years (p = 0.003) primiparous parity (p = 0.017), 2-5 years birth spacing (p = 0.033) and the number of children under five (p = 0.025). There need to be more educational efforts, outreach and family planning movements so that people, especially teenagers, understand the importance of family planning.

The dependent variable is the incidence of stunting.  Bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test and multivariate analysis used logistic regression. Result. The risk of stunting in children under five years in Indonesia in 2014 was 36.6%. The risk of stunting is higher in children under five years of married mothers in adolescence (42.4%) compared to mothers who are married at an old age (35%). Adolescent marriage is associated with the risk of stunting in children under five years, married adolescents have a 1.2 times risk of stunting compared to mothers who are married at an older age (p-value 0.046).

Abstract

Stunting prevention in high-risk families, particularly regarding environmental factors, remains a significant issue in Bengkulu Province as an area characterized by limited access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, both key indicators of stunting risk. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the risk of stunting among families in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. A cross-sectional approach was employed using secondary data from the 2021 Population Survey (PK21) of Bengkulu Province, which included 436,490 families. Univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted. The results showed that 83.1% of families in Bengkulu Province were not at risk of stunting. Factors significantly associated with stunting risk included the occupation and educational level of the head of household, health insurance status, household income adequacy, housing ownership status, and exposure to information through media and health officers (p < 0.001). Families with heads of household working as farmers and those with heads who did not complete elementary school had the highest prevalence of stunting risk. Families without health insurance, inadequate income, rent-free housing, and no exposure to the Bangga Kencana program through media or officers also exhibited a higher prevalence of stunting risk. Logistic regression analysis revealed that families not receiving Bangga Kencana information from officers were 1.08 times more likely to be at risk of stunting (95% CI = 1.05–11). In conclusion, demographic factors and information exposure were identified as critical risk factors for stunting among families in Bengkulu Province. These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions and information dissemination in reducing stunting risk.
