Abstract

Stunting remains a significant concern among the Indonesian population, and numerous studies have been conducted to decrease its prevalence. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in children aged 12 to 59 months. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research was conducted in the Sutojayan Health Center Work Area in Blitar. The research population consisted of 396 children aged 12 to 59 months, with a sample size of 60 children. The results indicated that maternal education (P-value = 0.010; OR = 4.4), maternal employment (P-value = 0.025; OR = 5.4), exclusive breastfeeding (P-value = 0.016; OR = 5.8), and environmental sanitation conditions (P-value = 0.027; OR = 3.6) are significantly related to the incidence of stunting. In contrast, children's immunization status did not show a significant relationship (P-value > 0.05). Stunting is influenced by various factors from pregnancy through preschool years, so prevention efforts must begin as early as possible. This includes improving maternal health, promoting breastfeeding, providing nutritious food, preventing infectious diseases, and ensuring a clean environment. The findings of this study encourage healthcare professionals to develop innovative strategies aimed at reducing stunting, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

There is insufficient information on the nutritional status of kindergarteners, especially in Surabaya. This study's primary goal is to present information on the nutritional status of kindergarten children enrolled at Labschool Lidah Wetan and Ketintang, Surabaya. Cross-sectional descriptive study of students aged 4-7 years (n = 56), with anthropometric measurements for weight and height of the students using a digital weight and height scale. After obtaining the students' weight and height data, Z-score measurements were conducted according to the WHO curve for height-for-age (H/A), weight-for-age (W/A), and body mass index-for-age (BMI/A). The findings showed that three students (5.4%) were classified as short, fifty-two students (92.9%) as normal, and one student (1.8%) as tall for H/A measurement. According to the W/A measurement results, one student (1.8%) was classified as severely thinness, two (3.6%) as thinness, forty-eight (85.7%) as normal, and five (8.5%) as overweight. Nine students (16.1%) were classified as thin, forty students (71.4%) as normal, three students (5.4%) as overweight, and four students (7.1%) as obese based on the BMI/age measurement. Overall, kindergarten students at Labschool Lidah Wetan and Ketintang Surabaya had generally good nutritional status.
