Abstract

Background: The WHO-MGRS (Multicenter Growth Reference Study) recommendations based on the height for age index define stunting as a condition in which the body is short or extremely short. The incidence of stunting among children under five is predicted to reach 21.9% in 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Stunting affects 149.0 million children, who run the risk of developing stunted growth, poor brain development, lower IQ, and disease vulnerability. Objectives: The study aimed to find out the variables associated with the incidence of stunting in 2021 in Kepyar Village, Purwantoro District, Wonogiri Regency. Methods: The research design was case-control with a ratio of 1:1 consisting of 22 samples from cases and 22 samples from controls. 22 individuals who were not deemed to be at risk of suffering stunting made up the control sample for toddlers. Between November 2021 and January 2022, the study was carried out. Low birth weight (LBW), birth length, exclusive breastfeeding, mother's last educational level, mother's height, socioeconomic status, accessibility to weaning food, early breastfeeding initiation, and also considered the mother's age at conception were all independent variables.  The dependent variable is stunting, which can be either chronic or mild to severe (-2 SD). Fisher's Exact Test was used to analyze this study. Results: The majority of children were not LBW (90.9%), followed by normal birth length (81.8%), exclusive breastfeeding (56.8%), low education level of the mother (72.7%), mother's height was not at risk (72.7%), early breastfeeding initiation (63.6%), low socioeconomic status (63.6%), proper weaning food (77.3%), and maternal age during pregnancy is not at risk (54.5%). Early initiation of breastfeeding and stunting incidents showed a statistically significant association (p-value of 0.005), then there was also a relationship between socioeconomic status and stunting incidents (p-value of 0.028). Conclusions: Socioeconomic status and early initiation of breastfeeding are associated with stunting incidents. To lower the frequency of stunting in Kepyar Village, early initiation of breastfeeding promotion needs to be optimized.

Abstract

Background: Nutritional status is an issue of concern especially in developing countries. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include a wasting target, namely reducing the proportion of children suffering from wasting to <5% in 2025 and <3% in 2030. In Indonesia, in 2019 and 2021, the prevalence of wasting was 7.4% and 7.1%, respectively. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the determinants of wasting in children aged 6-59 months in Indonesia based on data from the fifth cross-sectional Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2014. Methods: A Cross-sectional study from IFLS 2014 on 2672 children (6-59 months) was conducted. The independent variables were history of acute respiratory infection (ARI), history of diarrhea, frequency of meals, immunization, environmental health, monthly per capita expenditure (PCE), and the location of the child's residence. The dependent variable was wasting, which is measured by weight and height. Data analysis consisted of using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between environmental health (p-value<0.01), monthly per capita expenditure (p-value<0.01), and the child's place of residence (p-value<0.01) with wasting in children aged 6-59 months. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between environmental health, monthly per capita expenditure, and location of residence and wasting among children aged 6-59 months. Priorities in making health policies to reduce wasting may differ from region to region.
