Abstract

Stunting is a malnutrition problem that occurs globally and has long-term impacts on both health and cognitive. There have been no studies related to sociodemographic factors towards stunting in one of the areas with the most stunting rates in Gorontalo. This study aims to provide an overview of the prevalence of stunting and associated factors. This research method is descriptive with a cross-sectional approach in 325 children aged 6-59 months, in 8 villages in Tilango District, Gorontalo Regency. Mothers who met the criteria and came to the posyandu sequentially (consecutive sampling) were given a questionnaire. The prevalence of stunting is 116 (35.7%). Mothers who give birth to children with Birth Length (OR=3.65; 95% CI: 2.261-5.88), Birth Weight (OR:7.3; 95% CI:  3.774-14.238), Exclusive Breastfeeding (OR=3.586; 95% CI: 2.217-5.799, and Complementary Foods (OR=3.586; 95% CI: 2.217-5.799) associating against stunting. The conclusion of this study is that the prevalence of stunting in the Tilango District area is still very high, but only four of the 12 sociodemographic factors studied are associated with stunting. Nutritional status screening, monitoring of weight gain during pregnancy, as well as regular ANC examinations are important for Midwives and pregnant women at every contact, especially in first-level health facilities.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly among children aged 6-59 months. Stunting, defined as low height-for-age, results from chronic undernutrition during the most critical periods of growth and development. This study aims to analyze the sociodemographic and socio-cultural factors associated with stunting in Gorontalo, Indonesia, to inform targeted interventions. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 325 children aged 6-59 months, selected consecutively. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering seven sociodemographic and two sociocultural factors, alongside the Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS) questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using Chi-Square tests, while multivariate analysis employed Logistic Regression to identify significant predictors of stunting. The prevalence of stunting among the sample was 35.7%. Bivariate analysis identified Birth Length, Birth Weight, Family Income, Exclusive Breastfeeding, Complementary Foods, Food Diversity, and Parenting as factors associated with stunting. Multivariate analysis revealed that Birth Length (OR=0.377; 95% CI: 0.188-0.754), Birth Weight (OR=0.231; 95% CI: 0.095-0.561), Exclusive Breastfeeding (OR=0.307; 95% CI: 0.164-0.575), and Food Diversity (OR=0.064; 95% CI: 0.033-0.123) were significant protective factors against stunting. Conversely, Family Income and Education were identified as confounding factors. The findings underscore the critical importance of the first 1000 days of life in preventing stunting. Efforts should improve maternal nutrition to ensure optimal birth weight and length, promote exclusive breastfeeding, and enhance dietary diversity among young children. Addressing these factors can significantly reduce the prevalence of stunting and improve child health outcomes in Gorontalo.
