Abstract

Stunting is a condition in which the length/height of a toddler is less when compared to age. Body length/height of toddlers is seen based on the z-score value less than minus two (-2 SD). Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by various factors and is intergenerational. This study was conducted to know the effect of food consumption patterns, dietary restrictions, and family socio-economic factors on the incidence of stunting in children under five in the work area of the Mananga Health Center. This type of research is an analytical observational study with a case-control design. The population of this study is mothers who have children under five aged 24-59 months and a sample of 96 people. The data collected were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results of the bivariate analysis showed variables of food consumption patterns (p=0,000), dietary restrictions (p=0,001), and family socioeconomic factors (education p=0,000, occupation p=0,000, the number of family members p=0,000, and the income p=0,000) has an effect on the incidence of stunting in children under five in the work area of the Mananga Health Center.
