Abstract

Stunting is a public health issue that reflects chronic malnutrition due to inadequate nutrient intake over a long period of time. Socioeconomic factors within families play an important role in the incidence of stunting in infants. This study aims to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the incidence of stunting in infants aged 2–5 years in Sampuabalo Village, the working area of the Siontapina Community Health Center, Buton Regency. This study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 65 children was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between family income (p = 0.012), mother's education level (p = 0.021), and parents' occupation (p = 0.035) with stunting. It can be concluded that socioeconomic status contributes significantly to stunting. Multisectoral interventions are needed to improve the socioeconomic status of families as a stunting prevention effort.
